Europe Music Festivals
By FOMO Girl
Countless people enjoy watching and listening to live music performances. When they can watch several performances at one event, they may be able to enjoy the experience of a lifetime! Every year, people attend major music festival events across the world. Depending on the event that a person attends, a wide variety of entertainers might be viewed. Music festival tours in Europe are always popular, and an individual might spend an entire season attending some of the major events. 

Here are nine of the best Europe Music Festivals around

Sónar is Barcelona's internationally renowned three-day festival of advanced music and new media art.  Its first class reputation as a leading reference for international festivals is by virtue of a carefully balanced cultural offering, combining a playful nature, the avant-garde, and experimentation with electronic dance music's newest trends. 

Each July, more than one hundred thousand revellers make the trek to Bilbao in the Basque Country for a three day alternative and heavy rock blowout.  Since 2006, Bilbao Live has been serving up some of the biggest names in rock with past headliners including Guns N' Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Iron Maiden, R.E.M., ZZ Top, The Prodigy, Pearl Jam, Thirty Seconds to Mars, The Black Keys and Radiohead.

When the sun gets high in the summer July sky, bolt to Benicassim for one of Europe's biggest rock and indie music festivals, Festival Internacional de Benicàssim, or FIB to its friends. 

The Sziget event is also highly popular with fans. The Sziget Festival is one of the biggest events of its kind in all of Europe. This event has taken place since 1993. It spans the course of a week, which is usually in the first part of August. A wide range of modern bands might be seen at this event, from rock, to punk rock, to hip-hop.

The Pukkelpop event in Belgium is usually held in the middle or latter part of August, and it is one of the biggest festivals of sound in Belgium. The event has been offered to music fans since 1985, and in recent years over 150,000 people have attended. The event is known for providing highly popular and edgy musicians for fans to see and appreciate.

Every year, fans travel to the Isle of Wight to see live entertainers. The Isle of Wight Festival is in England, and it was originally held from 1968 until 1970. To the delight of fans, the event was then revived in 2002, and it has been held yearly since then. It generally takes place in the early part of June. People who attend this event are able to watch both rock and alternative rock performances.

The Tomorrowland event is a favorite for those who like electronic bands. Tomorrowland is another major event in Belgium. The festival has been in existence since 2005, and it is typically offered in the last part of July. This event is becoming what many electronic rock fans would consider to be a major yearly music event.

Millions of people have been fortunate enough to go to the Pinkpop event. The Pinkpop Festival, which is in the Netherlands, takes place for three days each year over the weekend of Pentecost. The event has been held annually since 1970. A variety of bands might be seen at this event, including alternative rock, rock, and hip-hop.

The Exit event is another popular choice among fans of live entertainment. The Exit Festival is in Serbia, and it has existed since the year 2000. This event generally takes place near the middle part of July. At the event, fans can listen to such kinds of music as electronic dance music, heavy metal, punk rock, and hip-hop. The event has won awards, and it does not seem to be at risk of losing popularity among modern music lovers.

People can attend a broad array of exciting events every year. Attending a major music festival could be the one of the most exciting and unforgettable experiences you will have in your lifetime. Since it may be difficult to choose only one event to attend, going to three, five, or even ten of them in a year may be an excellent reason to visit Europe.
