It’s summer now, and as you might have guessed from our last blog post - we’re quite excited about it. We told you all the best things to get up to in Paris over the summer months last week and now we’re broadening the scope a little bit and looking at four of the best boutique European festivals that you should check out this summer. Tickets are still available for all of them (at the moment anyway) so if you like the look of what you see, snap up a ticket as quickly as you can!
A festival like no other, Secret Solstice takes place over the summer solstice where in a country as far north as Iceland the sun shines for 24 hours a day. Headline acts include Massive Attack and Disclosure, along with an abundance of internationally recognised names and local Icelandic talent. Camping is available on site and even though it’s in Iceland, the weather should be pretty mild. If of course you don’t fancy camping, hotel package deals are available. Tickets start at 19,900 ISK (roughly £105), to buy tickets and see full lineup details visit the link above.
Running since 2005, Lovebox is one of London’s biggest and best boutique festivals. Taking place at Victoria Park during the day and in clubs in the immediate surrounding area at night, it’s a two day long experience you’re sure to remember for a while. Chase and Status headline the Friday and M.I.A headlines the Saturday, with a whole host of world class acts in between. No camping is available on site, you’ll have to find a hotel somewhere near. Tickets are £80 for the two days, these are on the final release and likely to run out soon. Check the link above for details.
Named by the Guardian as one of the best festivals in Europe for this year, Flow Festival is a music and arts festival located just outside of Helsinki city centre. Combining old time favourites with current hot acts, OutKast and The National headline the Saturday and Sunday while a collection of local Finnish talent open each stage, each day. No camping is available on site, the only accommodation is at hotels within Helsinki itself. Tickets cost €159 (roughly £130) for all three days and these can be bought through the link above.
Last year, Berlin Festival attracted over 20,000 international visitors and this year is sure to be just as successful. Taking place at Flughafen Templehof (the airport), the whole event is sure to be full of fun and surprises. With final lineup details still to be announced, with names like Moderat and Editors at the top of the list at the moment, you’re sure to not be disappointed. No camping available, but there are an abundance of reasonably priced hotels in Berlin so this shouldn’t be too much of an issue. Tickets are currently €79 plus booking and can be bought from the link above.
Those were our picks of the top four European Festivals this year, you can download Trippa Berlin, London, Helsinki and Reykjavik before you go to help you with everything outside of the festival.
