1. The Greatest International Festivals of the 2013
Fed up of frequenting the same festivals every year? Then
pack your bags, book your tickets and head to one of these
top international festival destinations:
2. Glastonbury (UK)
26th
-30th
June 2013
Are you ready to have the head-banging, thigh-slapping, finger-
tapping time of your life? Then head to Pilton Farm for this year’s
Glastonbury Festival. With the Rolling Stones headlining as part of
their fiftieth anniversary tour it’s set to be a big one. Beg, borrow or
steal a ticket!
Phukkelpop (Belgium)
15th
-17th
August 2013
The second largest music festival in Belgium, Phukkelpop was
founded in 1985 and hasn’t gone without problems, including stage
collapses and musician suicides. Highlights this year include
Eminem, The Prodigy and Neil Young but if you’re planning on
having an adventure and attending and, be quick as tickets are
selling out fast!
3. The Burning Man (USA)
26th
August- September 2nd
2013
The website states: “Trying to explain what Burning Man is to
someone who has never been to the event is a bit like trying to
explain what a particular colour looks like to someone who is blind.”
In a nutshell, Burning Man seems like a hedonistic heaven, where
nudity and garish outfits are encouraged and friendship is
celebrated. Described as an “annual experiment”, Burning Man acts
as an art gallery that occupies the expanse of the Black Rock desert;
only coffee and ice are sold on site so make sure you bring plenty of
supplies to ensure your survival.
Coachella (USA)
12th
-24th
April 2013
4. A poser’s paradise, Coachella is synonymous with great fashion,
celebrities and awesome bands. The festival has become so popular
that it’s now split across two weekends, and with acts such as The
Stone Roses, Blur and Red Hot Chili Peppers playing, we aren’t
surpirised.
Reading and Leeds (UK)
23rd
-25th
August 2013
The Reading and Leeds festivals takes place simultaneously across a
weekend in August each year and is deemed to be the oldest pop
festival still running. The 1992 festival acted as Nirvana’s last
performance before Kurt Cobain’s suicide. There is also an
unfortunate tradition of bottling acts off stage, past victims have
included 50 Cent, Bonnie Tyler and Panic! at the Disco.
