Festivals is a must-have guide to festival culture showcasing the world’s best and most significant events.

Festivals is a must-have guide to the world’s best and most memorable music festivals – a list of all those you need to know and those you should experience.

Discover the compelling stories behind the most significant and exciting events around the world which shape music and festival culture. This inspirational global guide showcases 50 bucket list festivals with photographs, posters, facts and figures, and draws attention to hundreds more to explore.

Highlighting festival giants and jazz classics, pop powerhouses and indie favourites to dance scene darlings and punk rock adventures, we travel from Woodstock, Glastonbury, Coachella and Roskilde to Fuji Rock, Tomorrowland, Burning Man and Afro Punk.

Here, the unique experience of a music festival is evocatively captured and an overview of the rise of the wonderful world of festival culture as we know it today revealed.

Music journalist and DJ Oliver Keens writes with expertise, having played across Europe, from Glastonbury to the top of a Bulgarian mountain, and he guides us through these special and truly unique cultural gatherings with insight, bringing the vibrant scenes recounted in these pages to life.

Oliver Keens is a journalist and DJ who has played across Europe, from Glastonbury to the top of a Bulgarian mountain. He’s the former Music and Nightlife Editor of Time Out London, has written for newspapers such as The Times and The Independent and appeared across the broadcast spectrum, from BBC News and Radio 4 to Rinse FM. He’s also a twenty-year festival veteran who can instinctively tell which loo still has toilet roll left in it.
