The top 10 amazing music festivals in Europe that you should not miss
There are many festivals in Europe that are most enjoyable and I thought of taking some time to write about a couple of them in detail. I thought of discussing 10 of the most amazing music festivals out there in Europe that you shouldn’t miss. So let’s go one by one discussing each one of them and try to learn about the interesting things happening in Europe.
Glastonbury festival in the UK
I thought it would be best if I started off with the Glastonbury festival in the UK. This festival is not based on one particular genre but is built around a couple of different genres and therefore if you are a person looking for spending some quality time in the English countryside in late June, this would be an excellent place to hang out. It would be right to say that Glasto is nothing less that legendary and that it is a must for all music lovers. The festival is very famous for different themes which are segmented and there won’t be a single moment you would be musically isolated. Probably it is the biggest music festival in the planet and there are thousands of people who are attracted to these grounds seeking to enjoy a variety of genres. You may have heard about the most recent headliners which included Beyonce and Jay-Z. However the whole festival as a whole could be pre-dominantly considered as rock event.

Sonar festival in Spain
The next most mention worthy music festival in my opinion would be Sonar in Spain. The items are mainly and most commonly electronic and there are always some spicy differences to mix it all up and give a diversified output. The festival is held in mid-June and it is held in one of Europe’s finest cities. The festival runs in two modes as Sonar by night and Sonar by day. The latter contains upcoming and new artists and the night is best if you want to see some of the most amazing top DJ’s and electronic bands in the world. If you are a hardcore fan of electronic then you could rave pretty much nonstop starting on Thursday till Sunday morning. There are also a lot of amazingly free events and parties and it would certainly be easy on your pockets.
Iceland Airwaves festival
In late October/ November there is a festival called Iceland Airwaves that promotes a lot of upcoming bands and also a lot of native bands in Iceland. If you go through the history of this festival, it was pretty interesting because the first airwaves festival was said to have been held on an airplane hangar as far back as in 1999 and from then it has grown and expended into a huge event.
Other popular festivals
Among the other popular festivals are the Parks and Leeds and Reading festival, Exit festival in Serbia, Benicassim in Spain, Sziget Festival in Hungary, Roskilde in Denmark, Open’er in Poland and last but not least the Tomorrowland in Belgium.

These festivals are undoubtedly the top in Europe and I would not advice any music lover to miss them unless you are really otherwise occupied.
