This festival has received the International Dance Music Award for "Best Music Event" every year since 2012. It is organized by the Dutch entertainment company ID&T, which hosts it in Belgium.

Next on the list is the no less popular musical event, Coachella.

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is a prime example of what people imagine when they think of a large-scale contemporary music festival. Coachella has been held annually since 1999 in Indio, California. Last year, more than 675,000 people attended this festival. This year the festival will begin from April 13 to 15 and from April 20 to 22. Acts including AC/DC, David Guetta, Drake, Jack White and Steely Dan will perform, with Beyonce herself headlining. Coachella began as a small festival attended by only a few thousand people. Today it is the most profitable festival in the world, collecting $78.3 million in 2014 alone.

I’ll tell you about another American popular festival, Burning Man. This is perhaps the freest, in the truest sense of the word, festival. That is, there are almost no rules or restrictions. But at the same time, it is considered the most harmless holiday for the surrounding world. Environmental friendliness is one of the most important principles of the Burning Man festival. “Burning Man” allows you to reveal the talent of absolutely anyone: artist, inventor, architect, designer, musician. An annual eight-day event taking place in the Black Rock Desert (USA, Nevada). The festival begins on the last Monday of August, at zero one minute. The organizers themselves define the event as an experiment in creating a community of radical self-expression, while completely relying only on itself (English: radical self-expression, and radical self-reliance). For a week, works of contemporary art, often fantastical in shape, are installed in the desert. Some of them are burned by the creators before the end of Burning Man.

Finally, I’ll tell you about our Russian festival “Invasion”.

INVASION is the largest all-Russian open-air festival, which has been held since 1999. The festival is rightfully considered the largest and most visited festival in the post-Soviet space - in 2017, about 200,000 people visited INVASION.

First of all, INVASION is music. Beyond formats and frames. Over the course of 3 days, both legendary and very young performers perform on the stages of the festival. Since 2009, the main adventure of the year has acquired a permanent “registration” - Bolshoye Zavidovo in the Tver region.

And finally, it’s worth mentioning the most famous festival held in Russia, “Sensation White”.

Annual electronic music festival. Until 2005, it was held exclusively in the Netherlands at the Amsterdam Arena. Later he reached us, and now thousands of Russians wait for him every year. The main rule of the festival is entry only in white.

This year “Sensation White” will be in Moscow at the Olympic Sports Complex. The dates of the festival are still unknown.

Such events are truly worth attending as much as possible. more people. I’m sure there will be enough impressions to last a lifetime. If you love music festivals, then I wish you to visit each of them and experience all the pleasures they have in store.
