Getting out of the country is often one of the highlights of the year for students. Getting away from the mental strain of exams and studies is something that we all need and enjoy. It’s easy to talk about going away but when it comes down to the act of actually paying for your trip, it can be a daunting task due to limitations of funds. In fact, over one third of third-level students are struggling financially. Just under half of students monthly expenditure is not provided by the student but rather by partners or guardians. This can make it very difficult for students to afford trips abroad.
With summer just around the corner, I know that my fellow lovers of music genres such as R&B, Trap, Hip-Hop and Afro beats, are really looking forward to a summer filled with sun, our favourite musicians and good vibes. Urban music is finally getting the recognition that it deserves, and as black twitter would say ‘we love to see it!’. So, whether you’re a Travis fan, a Davido fan, a Stormzy fan or you just want to be surrounded by the urban culture, you definitely do not want to miss out on these 5 festivals this summer 2020!!
