New On Skiddle: Dream Valley Festival, FLY Open Air, Cafe Mambo Ibiza NYE...

Partying, whether on a legal or illegal behind-closed-doors basis, seems to be a hot topic at the moment. And we don't know about you, but all this talk of going wild on 'cheese and wine' is getting us fired up for a big one.

Thankfully, it just so happens that we've got ten brand spanking new parties to introduce you to, with tickets now on sale. We asked the merrymaking MP's at 10 Downing Street to rank them for us, from best to worst (given their credentials it seemed silly not to), but they sadly refused to comment. Maybe next week, Boris?

Without further delay or fun-poking, here they are. Ten of the best and most recent parties, now on sale with Skiddle.
