Sold-out festival? No problem - there is a fake one!

Many music fans in UK are turning to so-called "fake" versions of big music events featuring tribute acts - over the past five years, ticket sales for Glastonbudget, Tribfest and The Big Fake Festival have seen a healthy increase, BBC reports. There are now more than 30 outdoor music festivals in the UK showcasing tribute acts, such as Coldplace, Antarctic Monkeys, Guns2Roses, Stereotonics, Blondied, The Killerz etc. The big draw is - price and accessibility, and the idea is to get people into the "festival mood".
