European Music Festivals

Welcome to The Riff Report European Music Festivals — where the riffs are enormous, the festival fields are legendary and suddenly getting on a plane with a battle jacket and a tent seems like a completely reasonable holiday. 🇪🇺🤘🔥

This is your home for everything happening across the European rock, metal, punk and alternative festival scene, from gigantic metal gatherings attracting fans from around the world to independent festivals hidden away in some of the most spectacular corners of the continent.

We’ll bring you festival announcements, line-ups, stage splits, set times, ticket prices, VIP packages, camping information, travel advice, accessibility details, food and drink updates and survival guides to help you plan your next European festival adventure. 🎟️⛺

Europe is home to some of the most famous rock and metal festivals on the planet, with thousands of fans travelling across borders every summer for several glorious days of bands, beer, camping and absolute chaos. 🍺🎸

And we’ll be keeping an eye on all of it.

From the enormous German metal gatherings and Scandinavian festivals to rock weekends in France, Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands and beyond, if there’s a field somewhere in Europe shaking because somebody has just dropped an absolutely filthy riff, we’re interested. 😈🔥

We’ll also be following British and Welsh bands heading onto European festival stages, flying the flag particularly hard whenever Welsh artists make the journey across the continent. 🐉🤘

Because travelling abroad for a festival involves a little more planning than throwing everything into the boot and hoping you’ve remembered the tent.

We’ll help tackle those important questions:

How do you get there? Where should you stay? Can you camp? What’s included with your ticket? How much is the beer? What are the local rules? And exactly how much merch can you fit into your luggage before the airline starts judging you? 😂✈️

We’ll celebrate legendary headline performances, discover rising European bands, explore festival history and keep you updated whenever new dates, artists and announcements drop.

Whether you’re planning your first festival outside the UK or your passport already contains more festival trips than actual holidays, you’ve come to the right place.

So grab the passport, pack the battle jacket and prepare to take The Riff Report international.

Different countries. Different languages. Same universal language: RIFFS. 🤘🔥🌍
