The Primavera Sound is the next festival coming up at the end of May. It is one of the largest music festivals in Europe. This year it will be held in Barcelona. It has been taking place for more than sixteen years and is a festival competing with Rock am Ring in terms of listeners. In 2018 more than 40,000 music fans visit the festival.
NICE JAZZ FESTIVAL
If being together with thousands of people and sleeping in a tent, doesn’t sound tempting, then think about listening to jazz in the French Riviera! This great jazz festival is organized since 1948 and it’s probably the oldest in Europe. This year the date is set in July.
CREAMFIELDS
This is the perfect festival for fans of electronic dance music. It will take place in Cheshire, northwest England in August and will host important names in this music style like Tiesto and Chemical Brothers.
