9. Best Kept Secret, Hilvarenbeek, 20.06.15
I’ve already written about the Vaccines playing Best Kept Secret festival over here, but the quick rundown of it all is that there is something about The Vaccines at festivals that just works. The Best Kept Secret lineup is so strong that I almost forget that the Vaccines are on the bill in the weeks leading up to it, but thankfully, a festival-studded summer ensures that the Vaccines are given a main stage slot at the Dutch festival. Their short, infectious pop-based melodies are ideal for a collective group sing, the perfect band with which to chase storm clouds away and to forget about rainy weather, muddy fields, and soaked-through rain boots.
