Music festivals are probably the most popular kind of festival around the world. With huge varieties of genre, style and locations, there is one to suit just about everybody. We’ve put together six of the best music festivals (from here, there and everywhere) which all together make up some of the best music festivals in the world. So sit back, have a read, and then go book your tickets!
Oxegen –Ireland
Known for pulling in the biggest names in the biz, this festival doesn’t disappoint. It’s on a huge scale, and the artists – like Foo Fighters, Coldplay, The National and The Strokes are almost as big as the festival itself. The awesome Irish location means you’re bound to meet some friendly folk along your way too, and don’t leave without trying a Guinness! Oxegen is taking a break in 2012, but all signs point to a return in 2013.
Benicassim – Spain
Don’t fancy the rain and the cold nights at your festival experience? Then opt for Benicassim – Spain’s biggest outdoor music festival, set in the beautiful town by the same name. The site is right by a beach (perfect for a BBQ in the afternoon) but don’t set your sights too much on a relaxing time – because there are DJ’s playing until early hours of the morning. The festival always attracts the big stars too, so you get a tan and a great line-up! Win!
The Burning Man – USA
Set in the desert of Nevada, be prepared to experience something truly unique if you’re heading here! This festival is not for the faint hearted; it lasts for an entire week and is held in a remote part of the state. During your stay on the site – using cash is banned, but that’s just about the only rule. So go wild!
Glastonbury – UK
One of the UK’s leading music festivals, this certainly won’t disappoint if you choose to spend your summer money on tickets. Glastonbury (although known for it’s rain and muddy fields) is one of the best music festival experiences around. If you don’t mind getting dirty – this could be the perfect choice for you. Big names and big crowds!
Lollapalooza – Chicago, USA
Lollapalooza (besides having the best name I’ve ever heard) is one of the best music and arts festivals around. Go for the culture and the people, stay for the awesome performers. Set alongside Lake Michigan – this is one of the State’s biggest events and promises nothing but the best.
Snowbombing – Austria
Known for being a hybrid of music and skiing – this event is truly brilliant. If you’re a skier already you’re going to love it without a doubt, but if you’re not, the festival offers learning courses as part of their ticket offerings. You get a bit of everything here and it’s the ultimate après ski experience.
