Top 5 Summer Festivals in Europe This Year

19th June 2024 | Category: Concerts

Europe is host to dozens of massive, highly successful festivals, and that’s not restricted to specific seasons. However, it’s seems as if summer is always the best time of year to enjoy a fantastic festival – and if you are lucky enough, you can also make it a small vacation and enjoy a couple of days off traipsing around Europe.

Here are our top 5 summer festivals you can visit with friends, partners, and family this year!

Primavera Sound in Barcelona, Spain

The first item on our list is the absolute best summer festival in all of Spain – the Primavera Sound. Barcelona is on everyone’s bucket list, and if you are planning to travel this summer to a cool, summery location, then Barcelona is the best choice. Moreover, Primavera Sound is among the most popular festivals not just in Spain, but all of Europe.

The event houses an eclectic mix of amenities and genres – from electronic music to the dashing sounds of the guitar, there’s almost every genre covered at Primavera Sound. Paired with the city’s lovely (and very lively) nature, you get a fantastic combo to explore during the summer. Make sure to check out the Spanish cuisine when you are not at the festival to complete the experience.

Tomorrowland in Boom, Belgium

Tomorrowland is for EDM what Glastonbury is for rock music. A July event, taking place over a couple of days in Boom, Antwerp, this is the largest electronic music festival in Belgium. The capacity exceeds 70,000 visitors, and each year, the total number of festival goers increases. Tomorrowland has been around since 2005, which means next year is going to be a landmark year for the organization.

Bear in mind that there are other variants of Tomorrowland, such as the Tomorrowland Brasil taking place in Itu, Brazil, while March 2025 is the month when we get Tomorrowland Winter in France. This year, we are going to see Armin Van Buuren, ATliens, Don Diablo, John Newman, Netsky, MC Stretch, Miss Monique, and many others. Don’t miss this chance to experience the very best visual and audio event in electronic music you can experience in this world.

Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, England

Glastonbury is perhaps one of the biggest festivals in not just Europe, but also the UK. On this list, Glastonbury is by far the biggest in terms of space as it’s a greenfield festival so there’s lots of room for visitors to roam the field and explore the shows. Given its size and popularity, Glastonbury is always hard to get to – traffic, prices, whatnot – but it’s more than worth it.

As a summer festival, it’s always taking place in June but as it’s an English summer, it’s not that hot like it gets in other parts of Europe. The history of Glastonbury begins in 1970, and for over 40 years, it has been a staple of English music and musical events. This year, the stars headlining Glastonbury are Dua Lipa, PJ Harvey, SZA, Coldplay, Camilla Cabello, and many others who joined such as Anne-Marie, Jungle, Jessie Ware, the iconic Sugababes, Paloma Faith, and lastly, Shania Twain. It’s a must-see for sure.

Sziget Festival in Budapest, Hungary

Before we wrap up the list in the middle of Balkan, we are stopping by the Serbian neighbours – Hungary. The Hungarian capital is home to Sziget Festival, one of Europe’s largest festivals you can visit. However, there’s one thing that’s quite unique about Sziget – It’s located on Óbudai-sziget, a massive 108-hectare island on the Danube.  It takes place in August, in the middle of summer and during the hottest of days, so the fact that you are surrounded by water certainly helps.

Each year, Sziget draws in a massive crowd of visitors and performers. Over half a million people pass through the 5-day event. This year, Sziget will host Fred Again, Halsey, Kylie Minogue, Martin Garrix, Liam Gallagher, Sam Smith, RAYE, Dom Dolla, and many others.

EXIT Festival in Novi Sad, Serbia

Serbia is not a major country like France or Belgium, so it’s not a surprise its festivals are not that famous worldwide. There is one that’s reaching audiences worldwide, though, and it’s getting bigger and bigger with each year. That is, ladies and gentlemen, EXIT Fest. EXIT is predominantly a techno-EDM-house music festival, but the lineup each year features a full cast of diverse artists and performers. More often than not, the lineup includes cross-genre shows, which delight visitors from all walks of life.

A massive benefit of visiting EXIT in Serbia is the pricing. These festivals are frequently visited by students, which means funds and budgets are always on the tighter side. Thankfully, Serbia offers a plethora of options for budget accommodation and amenities, and since EXIT is not as big as Tomorrowland or Glastonbury, it’s easier to snatch up good accommodation at a lower price. And the culture, history and food are fantastic too.

Billie Eilish Announces New HIT ME HARD AND SOFT Tour

10th May 2024 | Category: Concerts

Billie Eilish is back, y’all! The famous singer immortalized through her hits such as ‘bad guy’, ‘bellyache’, ‘Ocean Eyes’, and many others is returning to both the radios and the stage this year.

The newly announced Hit me Hard and Soft album is her third studio album, set to release on May 17th, 2024. The album will be directly followed by a concert tour taking place September 2024 – July 2025.

Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Album

Like with every album, Billie and her brother Finneas will embark on a concert tour in celebration of new music. The creative duo has been insanely creative over the years, so it’s no doubt the new album is going to be considered a masterpiece in no time. After all, every single thing Billie and Finneas write turns into gold, as evidenced by the award-winning “What Was I Made For?” and “No Time to Die” written for Barbie and James Bond ‘s No Time to Die movies.

However, while Billie had released some music in the meantime, we haven’t had a studio album since 2021, when she released Happier than Ever. It’s been three years since we’ve had a collection of all-new Billie songs, and this summer is the summer that changes.

Not much is known about the new album expect it’s called Hit me Hard and Soft. The album comes out on May 17 2024.

Billie Eilish announced the album on April 8 through an elaborate marketing strategy involving billboards displaying snippets of lyrics from the album.

A couple of weeks later, Eilish announced a tracklist which showed the album consisting of 10 tracks. There’s going to be a listening party on May 15, and you can get tickets for it HERE.

Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour

Three weeks after the announcement for the new album, the artist announced the upcoming concert tour in support of the new album. In the announcement, she mentioned tickets going on pre-sale – and many fans were puzzled as to why would she announce a tour this early considering the album was not yet out. In fact, the main question was, how could fans buy tickets for a tour celebrating an album they haven’t even heard. However, it seems the fans weren’t puzzled by those questions too long as they quickly lined up to purchase tickets.

The tour titled Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour will officially begin in September 2024.

The first show will take place in Quebec City in the Videotron Centre, on September 29, 2024. Ultimately, the tour is set to conclude on July 27, 2025, at the 3Arena in Dublin.

Coachella 2024: Lineup, Tickets, Info & Fun Facts

9th April 2024 | Category: Concerts

Coachella is here, guys! We are days away from the first weekend of the bi-weekend bash in the middle of California. The internationally acclaimed music festival picks up again this weekend, with a plethora of music guests and performers you should not miss if you happen to find yourself in Indio this Sunday and Saturday.

Coachella 101

Before we get into the details about this week’s first bash, let’s quickly list all the important details about Coachella. You know, just in case you haven’t had the chance to hear about this festival before.

Coachella, or officially, Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, is an annual festival for music and arts taking place in the Colorado Desert. The exact location is the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, Coachella Valley.

The festival became a thing in 1999, when Paul Tollett and Rick van Santen joined forces and founded the event. The first festival is organized by Goldenvoice.

Regarding the choice of music and arts offered at the festival, there’s huge variety. For the most part, the festival is all about rock, pop, hip hop, and electronic music, with indie and rap performances adding much needed variety as well.

What started as a one-day event evolved over the years into two 3-day weekend events taking place in April. What’s curious is that the lineup is exactly the same on both weekends.

Coachella 2024

So, let’s take a look at this years lineup and what we can expect from Coachella this year. Like every year, it is a global event, attracting thousands of visitors from around the world. However, perhaps the most famous thing about Coachella is the guest list: it’s a known celebrity hangout place, and every year, people gather just so they could get a chance to spot their favourite stars.

Hollywood stars love the attention too, so it’s a well-oiled machine that works for everyone involved.

Now, for the past several years, Coachella has had the same format: two weekends, the same lineup on both occasions. This year is the same. Take a look below at the lineup at this year’s festival.

This Year’s Lineup

The main performance at 2024 Coachella is Lana del Rey. Lana is the Friday headliner, appearing before the audience on Friday, April 12 and 19.  Besides Lana, the opening nights of the festival will also feature Peso Pluma, Lil Uzi Vert, along with a number of stars and performers such as ATEEZ, Peggy Gou, Suki Waterhouse, Sabrina Carpenter, Neil Frances, Gorgon City, Tinashe, ANOTR, Steve Angello, Mall Grab, and more.

The second evening, or Saturdays April 13 and 20 will feature Tyler, The Creator. Besides him, you will also have th eprivilege to watch Ice Spice, Gessaffelstein, Sublime, Blur, Jungle, Grimes, Jon Batiste, LE SSERAFIM, Charlotte de Witte, Purple Disco Machine, Raye, FLO, Hatsune Miku, Saint Levant, Will Clarke, and Kimonos.

Lastly, the closing nights of the festival, Sunday April 14 and 21, will be headlined by Doja Cat. Besides Doja, we will also get a chance to enjoy performances by J Balvin, Jhene Aiko, Khruangbin, Carin Leon, Anyma, DJ Snake, LUDMILLA, Bebe Rexha, Coi Leray, Veronica Monet, Olivia Dean, Barry Can’t Swim, JOPLYN, and jjuuujjuu.

There are more names there, don’t worry. We just named a few on the top of our mind, but you can enjoy dozens of other performances and artists visiting Coachella this year.

Fun Facts

If you happen to be indisposed and couldn’t attend Coachella this year, the organizators of the event have a surprise. All players can watch the even in live mode! A YouTube live will be played throughout the weekend (both weekends) so you should get a chance to watch the entire thing and not miss anything. Of course, it’s always best to watch it in person, but a YouTube live is the next best thing.

If you want to find tickets for Coachella, please bear in mind that all tickets for the first weekend are sold out. There is no option to find tickets for the first weekend. However, if you want to attend the second weekend, you can find the tickets right HERE.

Kid Cudi Announces 2024-2025 Insano World Tour

14th March 2024 | Category: Concerts

Kid Cudi is going on a world tour! The Cleveland-born American rapper is a multifaceted artist whose genius is reflected in many forms, including music, acting, and fashion. This year, he is starting his sixth tour titled the Insano: Engage the Rage World Tour. The tour is split into two parts – the North American leg, lasting throughout 2024, and Europe, which Cudi visits in 2025.

Insano Album Conceptualization

Insano is the ninth studio album released by Kid Cudi.  It’s the last album Kid Cudi is set to release through his contract with Republic Records.

Insano mixes elements of hip hop and trap, acting as the sequel to Cudi’s Entergalactic from 2022.

But here’s the fun part – Insano was launched on January 12, 2024, and a little over a month later, Kid Cudi released a sequel titled Insano (Nitro Mega).  Insano release was preceded by two promo singles “Porsche Topless” and “At the Party”.

When he announced the album, Kid Cudi first discussed the album and said it is going to be ‘the album of the year’ and that it’s “probably the first album I’ve ever made where I’ve been truly 100% happy”. Finally, as Kid Cudi previously discussed potential retirement from music, he clarified that Insano and Insano (Nitro Mega) are not his last albums and that he indeed is not retiring.

Now, let’s see the tour dates and when you get to see Kid Cudi in all his glory.

The Eagles Add European Dates to Long Goodbye Tour

5th February 2024 | Category: Concerts

The Eagles are having a very Long Goodbye. After half a century of music and changing the industry with their sound, The Eagles have decided to stop making music. Aiming to honor their long and fruitful career, the band embarked on an international tour called The Long Goodbye Final Tour that has been already underway in the USA. However, the tour was recently expanded with several new dates added – this time in Europe.

The Long Goodbye – More About the Tour

Here is a fraction of the official statement from the band upon the announcement of the new tour.

“The Eagles have had a miraculous 52-year odyssey, performing for people all over the globe; keeping the music alive in the face of tragic losses, upheavals and setbacks of many kinds. Credit and thanks go to our longtime management team, our dedicated road crew, and our exceptional backup musicians for providing skilled and steadfast support, throughout these many years. We know how fortunate we are, and we are truly grateful. Our long run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed. But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle.”

And indeed, “The Long Goodbye” will honor and celebrate the musical behemoth by giving the fans a chance to say goodbye by listening to The Eagles’ most popular hits.

US Dates
