Dour Festival is a music festival held in Belgium. It features a wide range of music genres and a diverse crowd of attendees. At such a free and expansive music festival, joyful music that brings people together is sure to overflow.

Electric Castle is an open-air music festival held at Banffy Castle in northwestern Romania, Eastern Europe. It truly runs 24 hours a day from morning to night, with the castle illuminated in a spectrum of colors after dark. Spanning five days, the festival welcomes top-tier artists from both Romania and around the world. It’s five days of frenzy in a quiet rural town on the Romanian outskirts—where you’re sure to find new connections.

TRNSMT is a new Scottish festival from the organizers of T in the Park, which was canceled in 2017. The debut of the rock and indie festival, held on Glasgow Green, was incredibly energetic, featuring none other than Radiohead, Kasabian, and Biffy Clyro. Because TRNSMT is a city-center festival, you have the chance to visit Glasgow’s bars, restaurants, and nightclubs once the main music finishes. The promoters also announced that they would be showcasing a variety of artists on the King Tut’s stage, meaning audiences will have the opportunity to discover up-and-coming talent.

Ultra Music Festival is one of the world’s largest EDM festivals and has been held in Chicago, USA since 1999. That Ultra is coming to Croatia as Ultra Europe. This year marks the fourth Ultra Europe: it kicks off with an Opening Party the night before, followed by three days of the main festival, then two days of related events, and finally wraps up with the Resistance Closing Party three days after the main event. In other words, Ultra Europe offers a full week completely immersed in parties.

This festival, held in London, England, focuses on dance music such as R&B and hip-hop and takes place annually from late June to early July. The venue and duration vary from year to year. Tours from Japan are available, making it easy to attend, and the event has grown larger with each edition. Unusually for a dance-music festival, it has a relatively long history and is considered one of the long-running events. While it’s not an EDM-focused event and therefore never became a massive trend, it is expected to maintain steady, enduring popularity.
