With the weather turning warmer, our minds naturally start drifting towards thoughts of those hazy summer days and nights, and how best to spend them. If you’re desperate to up sticks and visit somewhere new (preferably somewhere with plenty of sunshine, right?), European festivals are a great way to sightsee while also experiencing some fantastic live music.
Fancy a spot of culture? Take a stroll around the famous sculpture park of Oslo or go island-hopping across the fjord before heading to the city’s main park, where you’ll catch performances by pop queens Charli XCX and Chappell Roan. In Lisbon, you can enjoy a cocktail and sample one (or three) of their famous pastel de nata (custard tarts) before an evening of rock, pop and hip-hop. Or why not dip your toes in the crystal-clear waters of Lake Geneva in Montreux, with its extraordinary jazz pedigree and dramatic mountains?
