Eleven European Festivals You Should Go To This Summer
Sziget Located on the 108 hectare “island of freedom”, Óbudai-sziget in Budapest, Hungary, Sziget festival is running from August 11-15th this summer. The festival features a stacked variety of artists like Sombr, Chet Faker, Dom Dolla, Nia Archives, and Tball 2025 headliner Jazzy. Florence + The Machine, Lewis Capaldi, and Skepta round off the headlining acts to make this Hungarian festival not one to miss. Primavera Located in Spain’s second coolest city, Primavera runs from June 3rd until June 7th. The lineup is totally stacked and showcases a full spectrum of great music, from Cameron Winter and Mac Demarco, to Addison Rae and Massive Attack. There’s also some Irish acts playing, like My Bloody Valentine, NewDad and Florence Road. Roskilde Roskilde is the only Danish city I want to be in during the period of June 27th until July 4th. You get to live out your Scandi summer fantasies listening to acts like Frost Children, mark william lewis and Brutalismus 3000. Dublin folk band (and filthy canines) Madra Salach are also playing. UNTOLD I don’t really know anything about Romania’s UNTOLD festival except that it’s big. Like, 470,000 people big. Steve Aoki is playing, so there will probably be cake. UNTOLD is on from August 6 until August 9th. Dekmantel Het Amsterdamse Bos is the home of Dekmantel, a left of centre electronic festival that looks like a fantastic place to K-hole. It runs from July 29th until August 2nd. Metronome Prague Slowdive, Orville Peck, Lykke Li, and Razorlight will all be in the city of a hundred spires during the period of June 19th-21st. Unfortunately, Sting is also playing. Bilbao BBK Running from July 9th to 11th, Bilbao BBK is a great place to go if you can’t get Primavera tickets.
