London may offer a wealth of superb music festivals each summer, but there are some things these events in the capital just can’t give us. Thumping speakers on sandy beaches. Winding, azure rivers. A dancefloor beneath a canopy of palm trees. Cool mountain breezes and three-day parties in remote, abandoned factories. For this, you need to look abroad.
You already know about the likes of Coachella and Burning Man — the kinds of ultra famous international festivals that are either deeply basic or prohibitively expensive, or both. Instead of these obvious picks, we’re spotlighting some of the best and most awe-inspiringly beautiful festivals outside the UK, so you can enjoy this year’s biggest beats in a stunning location, instead of in a cordoned-off area of a muddy Victoria Park.
