Festivals in Europe
 
I am going to be traveling Europe from May 27 until about June 15. Does anyone know of any festivals or any seasonal events that I should check out during that time? I will probably be in Paris, Stockholm, London and still deciding on the last city to visit..

Well, a single google search pulls up the musicfestivaljunkies website, where you will find this one in Sweden during your travelling dates...

You'll be too early for Glastonbury and the Exit festival.

You'll find UK festivals info here...

You should also be aware that many festivals sell out within hours, and on occasion minutes of tickets going on sale. Certainly most with big names do.

Pinkpop starts on June 14th. I'm not sure if there are still tickets for that. Green Day will be there on the 16th.
www.pinkpop.nl but all in Dutch I'm afraid.

Do a Google for the sort of festival you want - rock, pop, dance, trance. You may find smaller ones then. Pentecost is 16th June, which is when Pinkpop is, and there maybe others around then too.

Awesome thanks for all the help! I was thinking more like cultural festivals or celebrations (like la merce in Barcelona) but thanks nonetheless!
