Description

Festivals is a must-have guide to the world’s best and most memorable music festivals – a list of all those you need to know and those you should experience.
 
Discover the compelling stories behind the most significant and exciting events around the world which shape music and festival culture. This inspirational global guide showcases 50 bucket list festivals with photographs, posters, facts and figures, and draws attention to hundreds more to explore.
 
Highlighting festival giants and jazz classics, pop powerhouses and indie favourites to dance scene darlings and punk rock adventures, we travel from Woodstock, Glastonbury, Coachella and Roskilde to Fuji Rock, Tomorrowland, Burning Man and Afro Punk.

Here, the unique experience of a music festival is evocatively captured and an overview of the rise of the wonderful world of festival culture as we know it today revealed.

Music journalist and DJ Oliver Keens writes with expertise, having played across Europe, from Glastonbury to the top of a Bulgarian mountain, and he guides us through these special and truly unique cultural gatherings with insight, bringing the vibrant scenes recounted in these pages to life.
