The line-up is the same on both weekends. This year Headliner Lana Del Rey, Tyler the Creator, Doja Cat and No Doubt.
When: June 26 to 30, 2024

While there are still tickets available for Coachella this year, it's getting harder and harder to get them for Glastonbury Festival. No wonder, because here too, the line-up is impressive every year. While Elton John was on stage last year, you can expect Coldplay, Dua Lipa and SNZ at this year's festival. Between the individual acts, you can go to a yoga session, get creative or go vintage shopping. Once you've been there, you'll be convinced: Glastonbury is the best festival in the world!
When: June 29 to July 6, 2024
Tickets: approx. € 322
Guests: 130,000 in total

For example Bob DylanBruno Mars, Gorillaz, Foo Fighters, Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones and Metallica. 2024 headliners Doja Cat, Skrillex, Foo Fighters and Jane’s Addiction on.

Although it's one of the younger ones among the summer festivals of 2024, there's hardly anyone who doesn't know Tomorrowland. First held in 2005, a total of 600,000 visitors attended the open-air music festival over the two weekends in 2022. It's mainly about electronic music, but one special feature is the extraordinary setting of the festival. Huge buildings, decorations and people in costumes - each matching the theme of the year - frame the DJ sets. Speaking of music: Armin van Buuren, Swedish House Mafia and Hysta are among those heating up the stage this year.
When: August 7 to 12, 2024
Tickets: from approx. € 230

Every summer since 1993, music enthusiasts have been celebrating on the Danube Island Óbudai in Budapest. There's music, open-air cinema, dancing, stores for shopping and even a children's program at 60 different venues. If you like, you can even take part in sports. One of the special features is that you can get in and out again and back in again with your ticket. In other words, there's also time for sightseeing in the Hungarian capital (or stylish accommodation away from the tents). This year's line-up includes Stormzy, Martin Garrix, Liam Gallagher and around 80 other acts.
When: August 25 to September 2, 2024
Tickets: from approx. € 540

The last festival in summer 2024 will take place in the Black Rock Wüste. Statt Musik steht das Selbst und dessen Darstellung im Mittelpunkt. Dazu kommen Kunstausstellungen, Partys und Performances. Nach neun Tagen endet das Spektakel traditionellerweise mit dem Anzünden einer riesigen Skulptur – dem “Burning Man” eben. Das Festival steht jedes Jahr unter einem anderen Motto, zum ersten Mal feierte man Burning Man on June 21, 1986.
