Perhaps the coolest and most raved about music festival on the planet (and one of the oldest), the Roskilde Festival has the credibility, history, and hipness that no other festival in the world has. Roskilde’s audiences expect extraordinary and unique experiences — whether it was Bob Marley in 1978, U2 in 1982, Metallica in 1986, Radiohead in 1997 or Sigur Rós in 2013. The festival is generally perceived as one of the most caring and safe festivals in the world. It is as contemporary and innovative as it is legendary. The music covers such styles as rock, hip-hop, metal, rap, electronica and world music. In addition, there are often surprising performances by classical acts and opera greats.

Rolling Stone calls Bonnaroo “the ultimate over-the-top summer festival.” Sprawled out on a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee, the festival combines the sounds of rock ‘n’ roll, jazz, Americana, hip-hop and electronica, along with a 100-acre entertainment village buzzing around the clock with attractions and activities including a classic arcade, on-site cinema, theater performers, a beer festival, and a music technology village. No wonder it’s been named one of the 50 moments that changed the history of rock. John Fogerty, Dave Matthews Band, The Flaming Lips, Kings of Leon, Norah Jones, Conan O’Brien, The Black Keys, and Jeff Beck are just a handful of the performers who have headlined past festivals.
