The Hay festival - a festival of music and literature - in Wales is including Philosophers in this year's program (programme, for the Brits). According to the story in the (sponsoring) Guardian:

The mix of philosophy and music is a natural one, says festival director Hilary Lawson. "The title of the festival is How The Light Gets In and that indicates what we're about – bringing light into our lives through ideas. The Enlightenment meant exactly the same thing: bringing light into a world of authority and darkness. Music is trying to bring that same light in and one doesn't want to think that philosophy is just about arguing over a concept but bringing ideas in a more general way into our lives. We don't want it to feel like something dry and dull. We have some parties too."
