We all need something to look forward to and what better than a festival getaway to see your favourite artists in a new and exciting location to escape the daily grind. Over the past decade, festivals have become a right of passage and music fans have been travelling to European festivals for great escapes — combining quality line-ups with local culture, sightseeing and one-off experiences that will stay with you forever.

A festival no longer means piling into a field for a weekend as music fans demand more from their festival experiences. From partying in the Balearics and enjoying unforgettable sunsets to watching the best live bands in Munich’s historic Olympic Park or venue hopping at the world’s largest and most influential club-based festival for electronic music in Amsterdam, there’s a European festival to satisfy your wanderlust.
