Evolving from the anti-Milošević protests of 2000, Exit Festival is now one of the biggest Dance music festivals in Europe. Genres vary, starting with the more mainstream moving onto techno and bass – the true pulse of the Festival. The Festival’s venue is the Petrovaradin Fortress creating an amphitheatre-like setting and delivering a truly stunning experience.

G! FESTIVAL, FAROE ISLANDS

11–13 July 2019

 

This festival takes  place in the tiny seaside village of Göta on the Faroe Island of Eysturoy (population 567), giving the G! Festival one of the most amazing locations with the midnight sun and breathtaking scenery. The islands’ huge grassy hills are like nothing on earth and that combined with the midnight sun (already mentioned… we know) and the energy of the crowd, is undeniable. British and Nordic music stars are regulars.

Genre: music (alternative, electronic)

This slightly unusual Festival, which has made a name for itself, offers a little slice of eco-cool in the Normandy seaside town of Saint-Aubin-Sur-Mer. You will find cabaret acts, saunas and under-the-radar European indie shows. The Bonus?  All proceeds go to a wildlife charity.
