BETA Plan your next big day out

Music festivals around the world.

Browse confirmed festival dates across metal, rock, pop, house, rave and jazz & world music, with a live countdown to each festival's first day. Dates are added when organisers publish them; we don't guess or project dates from previous years. This page is in beta, so the list is still growing and some details may change.

Confirmed festival dates

About these festival dates

This starter list includes music festivals in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania and South America. Genres are a guide: many festivals mix styles, so a festival can appear under more than one genre. "Rave" covers hard dance and hardstyle events as well as large electronic festivals, and "House" covers house, techno and dance music. Each date links to the festival organiser or its event listing so you can check details before making plans.

Festival dates can change. Confirm travel and ticket information with the organiser, and check back here as new dates are announced. A countdown marks the published start date, not ticket availability or the time gates open.

Also see seasonal countdowns, game, film and TV releases and holiday dates.
