 Britons fed up with muddy festivals and flooded tents could soon be booking flights to Spain and heading to the country in their droves for music events that combine good weather and cheap cost, it has been reported.

 Spanish holidays are not a luxury for UK consumers, rather they are a "necessity", it has been argued.
According to Thomas Cook, Britons will often book holidays without having the necessary means up front to pay for them.
