Paradise Blue Festival - Cancun, Mexico

Headbangers, unite and head out to Mexico for the Paradise Blue Festival! Taking place in Cancun, this fabulous party is celebrating its second edition this year. Three days of great music and great atmosphere at the beach, that is all you need to make some unforgettable memories. Stay at an all-in luxury resort at the Caribbean Sea and enjoy numerous performances every day, including performances from Excision, guest of honour and resident DJ at this event. Mexico is calling! 

Ticket prices start at 1.100 € per person and can be bought here. They are rather pricy, but we should add that accommodation is included here. 

Warm Up Festival - Murcia, Spain

If Mexico is a bit too far for you, and you want to combine your festival experience with a short trip, then the Warm Up Festival Estrella de Levante might be a perfect fit for you! The festival takes place in Murcia, in the southeast of Spain, and is celebrating its fifth anniversary this year. The line-up includes plenty of big names, such as Franz Ferdinand and The Kooks, but also lesser-known names that are definitely worth discovering! After the festival, there will be more than enough time left to explore the region. Nature lovers, Murcia is surrounded by beautiful nature and mountains, so go book your tickets and trip now!

Prices start at 23 € for day tickets, and at 75 € for weekend deals. Both can be bought here

Rolling Loud - Pattaya, Thailand

The best way to describe Rolling Loud is to call it the ultimate dream for globetrotters and music lovers. Rolling Loud is a brand new two-day festival celebrating its first edition this year. It takes place in Pattaya, a seaside resort in eastern Thailand. Headliners are Cardi B, Chris Brown and Travis Scott. Do we need to say more? Combine the festival with a road trip through Thailand. Go see your favourite artists, discover the country’s rich culture and make unforgettable memories.

Standard tickets cost 350 € and can be bought here

Are you up for a party, but do you find a music festival just a bit too intense? No worries, we have listed some fun alternatives that will make your heart sing and dance. Keep on reading!

Le Printemps de Bourges - Bourges, France

Le Printemps de Bourges is a five-day artistic festival taking place in Bourges, a town located some 100 km from Orleans. Both local and international artists descend on France at the end of April to give amazing performances for people all around the world. The great thing about this festival is that tickets are sold separately per performance or show. In this way, you can personalise your festival experience completely. Even though the festival is international, the city does not feel too crowded and concerts exude an intimate atmosphere. In addition,  Bourges is a cosy city that is definitely worth a visit. Book your tickets and enjoy spring in Bourges!

Easter - Germany 

We agree, Easter is celebrated just about everywhere in the world. However, some countries go a step further and make it a real folk festival, like Germany. There, people are also free on Good Friday and Easter Monday, which means four days of celebration! On Holy Saturday, "Osterfeuer", i.e. Easter bonfires are lit all over the country. Stalls with food and drinks are set up near the Easter fire, and traditional games are played. In some places, haybales are also set on fire and rolled down a hill. Activities vary depending on the town, but keywords are warmth, atmosphere, conviviality and lots of fun!

Dia da Liberdade - Portugal

Dia da Liberdade is Portugal’s national holiday. It commemorates the Carnation Revolution, which made Portugal a democracy. Celebrations take place all over the country, but the centre of the festivities can be found in Lisbon. Immerse yourself in the party atmosphere, join a parade, sing and dance along to the music and enjoy a dazzling fireworks display in the evening. You do not have to be native Portuguese to experience this warm feeling of national belonging.
