Those who love live music often travel to catch their favourite bands on the road. When they manage to see a few of them at the same time during a festival that is even better. Below, you will find a few music festivals that will take place outside of the UK and that are worth booking an airplane ticket for.
– Rock en Seine (August 23 to 27, 2023)
If you like rock’n’roll, and Paris is one of your favourite destinations, then it is time to book your flight to for the end of August, as the coolest French rock festival “Rock en Seine” will be celebrating its 20th anniversary in good company. The event which has already brought incredible artists in the past, such as Arctic Monkeys, Stromae, The Blaze and Yungblud, has prepared an incredible line-up for everyone to celebrate with them. It will include Billie Eilish, Florence + The Machine, Placebo, The Chemical Brothers and The Strokes. Just one of these major artists is certainly worth the trip to the City of Lights, but they come with other surprising guests such as Christine and the Queens, Wet Leg and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. An event not to be missed.
– Superbloom (September 2 and 3, 2023)
When is the last time you’ve headed to Munich? Here is your chance to either do so once again, or to finally discover this incredibly beautiful city, while rocking it out with some of today’s greatest bands. We can certainly say so, when we read the names that will be headlining the event this year. How about Imagine Dragons to start things with? This is one of the most powerful bands to see in live action. ing them will be Ellie Goulding, Martin Garrix, Zara Larsson, Years & Years, Lost Frequencies and Ava Max, just to name a few. It is a chance to spend time in Munich in one of the best seasons, as the weather starts to cool down.
South Africa – Cape Town International Jazz Festival (February 23 and 24, 2024)
We close this article on a mythical festival, which sadly wasn’t able to take place in 2023. Since the dates are still a few months away, it will give you time to plan the whole trip. You can start by looking at the flights from London to Johannesburg, in order to get an idea of the costs, so you can start budgeting. You should also look at all the other attractions that you can enjoy in South Africa, so you don’t miss out on anything. It would be a pity to go so far and not see everything there is to see. Naturally, the central event will be the Cape Town International Jazz Festival in your itinerary. It has been known as a must attend for all jazz lovers around the world. The artists that perform there are part of the reason, but the atmosphere that reigns and the people you meet is what really differentiates this music festival from others.
