Music festivals in Europe
Visiting a festival abroad can be a great reason to travel and a way to experience different cultures. These days there is such a number of choices that it's possible to spend the whole summer watching live music in exciting places. Of course,it's also a chance to meet people from across the world.
Melt! Festival,Germany
This festival takes place on the site of an open air museum for industrial machinery. There's also a lake which can be used for swimming when it's hot. This year's lineup has over 120 different bands(乐队).Around 90% of the people attending the festival are German providing a perfect chance to practise speaking the language.
Exit Festival,Serbia
Set on the banks of the Danube in an old fortress(城堡),the festival began as a way to show people's dissatisfaction with the government. These days it's less political(政治的) but still worries about people who are poor,ill,old,etc. and tries to help them. This year's festival will host many famous bands. From electronic music and dance music to hard rock,there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival,Scotland
Set on a Scottish estate(庄园) near Inverness,this year Belladrum will welcome artists from around the world. The most enjoyable part of the weekend is the ceilidh (traditional Scottish dance and party) which is always a lively event. It doesn't even matter if you're a beginner because the band teaches you each dance.
Open'er Festival,Poland
Held in an airfield near the northern city of Gdansk,each year Open'er has a seriously good selection of bands. This year is no exception,with many famous bands set to play. Not only are there amazing artists,but both Poland and the festival itself also provide very excellent value for money.
