Festival fanatics love to boast of the rave they attended in Goa or the tribal festival in the Philippines. Don’t get us wrong, these are incredible experiences, but who wants to pay extravagant fees for world festival entertainment when there is so much festival fun right here in Europe.
Summer means its European music festival season. We’ve all seen local jaws drop when travelers enter a crowded space speaking in voices that … carry. An unspoken rule easily broken in Europe, it seems, is speaking quietly. So European music festivals are the perfect antidote to these hush-hush sneers and glares.
To help you decide where to go when, we’ve created a top 10 list of our favorite European music festivals for July and August where noise *is* approved.
From the famous Glastonbury music festival to the renegade Exit festival in Serbia, to the low-key, free three-week music marathon in Florence, Italy, Europe literally has hundreds of summer music festivals.
Our top 10 list will give you a jump start on how you’ll be screaming with your new European friends in some of Europe’s top cities like Krakow, Poland, Salzberg, Austria and even Reykjavik, Iceland (BTW- Joobili has 11 reasons to unhate Iceland in case you’re still upset about the volcano).
Just remember, your ticket to noise expires once you leave the festival gates. So why not keep the noisemakers going? No one said you can’t do two summer festivals in Europe in one trip, right?
