Hey festival-goers!
What are the legendary music festivals and why are they so popular? We've conducted an investigation, and here's our list of the most famous festivals in the world.
You can check out this blog post if you're ready to go international, but if you want to go to the land of Roquefort cheese or if you're curious, here's a list of 5 festivals not to be missed this summer (2024) in France.
If you're in Canada, this list will be helpful!
1. Coachella
Coachella, the music festival where outfits are more daring than the lyrics of some songs! It's the California event that brings together hipsters, fashionistas, music lovers, and anyone looking to take selfies with epic Instagram filters.
It's the only place in the world where you can see a group of people grooving to electronic music while wearing cowboy boots and straw hats. And if you want to see celebrities, you're in the right place! But don't forget your binoculars, as they are often surrounded by an army of bodyguards.
And to top it all off, there's the food. You can taste gourmet dishes, or you can settle for a greasy hot dog that will give you heartburn until next year. But no matter what you eat, you'll do it while dancing with a beer in hand and a blissful smile on your face.
In short, Coachella is a strange mix of music, fashion, and madness, and that's why people love it so much. It's the perfect place to let loose and enjoy life, even if it means waking up the next morning with a hangover and fuzzy memories of what happened the night before.
2. Glastonbury (and its mud)
UK's biggest outdoor music festival is known for its electric atmosphere and incredibly varied lineup of artists. You could listen to legendary rock bands like the Rolling Stones, or pop artists like Taylor Swift.
Watch out for the mud, which is sometimes associated with the festival as some editions have taken place in bad weather, leading to some unforgettable photos and experiences.
3. Tomorrowland
Belgian festival Tomorrowland is famous for its half-fairy, half-sci-fi decor and renowned electro DJs. Electronic music fans from around the world flock to Boom, Belgium, every year to dance to the beats of David Guetta, Tiësto, and Martin Garrix.
It's the only place in the world where you can dance on a stage that looks like a spaceship with thousands of other people in a trance, while smoke jets and light effects transport you to another universe.
4. Lollapalooza
This American festival started as a touring festival but has now become a legendary outdoor music festival that survived the '90s! The event brings together fans of alternative rock, independent music lovers, hipsters, and anyone who wants to show that they were fans of a band before they became famous. It changes location every year, and this year (2023), it's Paris that will have the honor of hosting it!
5. Roskilde
The Danish festival Roskilde is famous for its festive atmosphere and support for humanitarian causes. Legendary artists like Bruce Springsteen, Nirvana, and Radiohead have all played on Roskilde's stages.
Roskilde is a music festival that celebrates cultural diversity! It's the event that brings music fans from around the world together for a unique music experience and a celebration of culture, diversity, and inclusion. The atmosphere ranges from traditional African music to the trendiest pop artists, to independent rock bands. It's the perfect place to connect with people from around the world, discover new artists, and celebrate cultural diversity!
The atmosphere is so captivating that Hans Kiib, Gitte Marling, and Line Marie Bruun Jespersen have devoted a study to it: "The Orange Feeling. Mood and Atmosphere at Roskilde Festival" https://doi.org/10.4000/ambiances.829 (the color ORANGE being the official color of the festival).
Of course, this list is not exhaustive, there are many other incredible music festivals around the world. But if you're looking for a festive atmosphere, a list of legendary artists, and an unforgettable experience, these festivals are sure to please you.
So, pack your tent, grab your tickets, and get ready to dance!
