One of the highlights of the European EDM calendar, Sonar brings together some of the world’s finest music and cutting-edge technology. The festival is as much for music tech-heads as it is for your regular clubber. Festival-goers can experience seminars from visual artists and production companies, as well as being treated to some astonishing performances from a variety of EDM acts. Taking place over three days, Sonar’s split into two sections: Sonar by Day on Barcelona’s La Rambla, and Sonar by Night, which takes place in an Aircraft hanger just outside of the city and rages until 6am. Sonar is also up for sale at the moment, so any takers, head over to their website.

U got the Hideout festival but check out Zrce on the island of Pag in Croatia… cant go wrong
I made many European festivals and a road trip through Europe in 2009 took me in Hungary and to Sziget festival.
It was amazing! The festival is in the heart of Budapest on an island on the middle of river Danube, creating a special atmosphere with the unique mixture of party, city and nature.
It is the longest festival, 7 days of music, cultural programs and exhibitions. But it is also the largest with 400,000 persons from everywhere in the world and the most diverse line up, you will find what you like in every hour of the day on one of the 30 stages of the Island.
You add a huge Party Arena and some parties places with several DJs 24h/7, cheap drinks and food.
I finished this experience in one of the bath of the city on Monday afternoon after few days without sleeping.
A week of madness, i didn’t believe what I was living!
Live it, you will enjoy it!
If you want to have an idea, watch that! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Llt-rK7Qbmo
Cheers for the heads up, it’s now been added
I’ll check it out. Good looking out
Thanks for sharing – Sziget sounds awesome. Keep those festival tales coming!
I would hate for this to get out since it’s so clutch but you never mentioned Kazantip. It’s in Popovka, Crimean Peninsula, Ukraine. Here’s a website to it:
