13 European festivals with jaw dropping line-ups
Fjords, private islands and other things you wont get in the UK - festivals we are desperate to go to
- Malta Festival Poland: Named after the lake in the centre of Poznan, Malta Festival has been running for over 20 years and has become known for its diverse range of music, theatre and dance, with a series of events running throughout June-July. This year's festival is without doubt their biggest so far, with Kraftwerk performing their spectacular 3D show in the open air for the first time, whilst Atoms for Peace will also be making a rare appearance after their critically acclaimed release earlier this year, with Cat Power in support.

As festival season becomes painstakingly close, the panic of where to actually go this summer is slowly dawning on a lot of us.
Your lack of preparation meant you missed out on Glastonbury tickets back in October, the inevitable horror stories have put you off Reading and Leeds, and you cant convince your friends to come to Latitude no matter how many Kraftwerk videos you show them (don't even talk about the small fortune that is necessary to fund a weekend event in the UK as well).
As UK festival tickets become comparable to the price of a holiday and the weather stays unpredictable, it might be time to start looking further afield to get your fix this summer. European festivals are becoming a viable alternative due to their less expensive ticket costs and outstanding lineups (plus, it can double as a holiday), with more and more dedicated fans making the trip abroad each summer.
In that vein, we've compiled a list of the most exciting European Festivals set to happen in the next few months, which will no doubt make you want to put off paying rent for another month in exchange for return flights to a country you'd never even considered visiting before.
