It's that time of the year again, light nights are back and we've hopefully seen the last of the dreaded winter weather. But more importantly, the festival season is almost upon us, and after the recent influx of line up announcements, the majority of us know how our summer will map out.

If you're still undecided or just looking to get into the festival groove, we thought we'd help you out by picking our shots at what's hot and will soundtrack all the major festival main stages via our Sound of UK Festivals 2015 playlist (stream it below on Spotify). 

Kicking things off at the apex of all festivals, Kanye West, Lionel Richie and Foo Fighters occupy the Glastonbury slots with word also coming that the Dalai Lama will visit Worthy Farm this year.  

More big gun representation comes from Isle of Wight Festival headliners Fleetwood Mac, and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds who top bills at Calling Festival and T in The Park. Avicci, Kasabian and Mark Ronson are also plucked from the Scottish juggernaut's offerings. 

Rock utopia Download Festival have played their cards right with Slipknot, Kiss and Muse bringing some alternative steel to the playlist. 

Leeds and Reading Festival have plunged for all conquering metal behemoths Metallica and The Libertines who make their anticipated comeback at the festival. The almighty Kendrick Lamar gives the playlist some rap appeal along with Run the Jewels. 

It wouldn't be a true festival pitch as well without Pharrell permeating the playlist with his omnipresent number 'Happy' - he'll also appear at the Isle Of Wight.

Hannah Wants, Jamie XX, Waff and Jamie Jones are just a few of the hallowed selectors thrown in to keep the ravers in check. 

New Look Wireless festival relocates to Finsbury Park this year, they place well with Drake, David Guetta and Nicki Minaj. 

The Proclaimers set up shop at family free for all Belladrum Festival, whilst Camp Bestival add to the family fun with Clean Bandit.

We've also dotted the compilation with acts set to appear at other festivals in order to maintain the vibe, Jess Glynee, Skrillex and Mumford & Sons are just a few of those random acts.

It's now over to you now guys, kick back enjoy and make sure you give the playlist a whirl to get you in that all important festival spirit.
