The best part is that, often, you get a lot more than just songs, including food and even shopping—here is a list of the best music festivals in the world.

Coachella

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, is now one of the most renowned events in the United States since 1999. As well as bringing in big names like Jay Z, Rage Against the Machine, and Kesha, Coachella was also known for its massive artistic facilities, like Taiwanese artist Jimenez Lai's The Tower of Twelve Stories.  

Coachella's 17-year existence has generated numerous remarkable moments, like Daft Punk's 2006 set, frequently referred to as one of the finest in Coachella's existence, and Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's 2012 performance with a projection of Tupac. So, you can be sure of getting yourself a couple of historical moments.

Summerfest

Summerfest is a music event held in Wisconsin. It's the biggest fest in the United States, with over a million people expected to attend. There are 12 decks at the downtown Milwaukee arena. During the course of the festival, over a thousand artists will perform more than 800 times. Attendees at Summerfest rhythm to a variety of musical genres. It's also a terrific chance to sample Milwaukee's culinary offerings.

Aside from the music, there are also comedy acts, shopping, fireworks, and various outdoor activities during Summerfest. The year's biggest summer event is yours for the low, low price of $20. This 11-day festival takes place every year between the end of June and the beginning of July.

Tomorrowland

Tomorrowland has been one of the biggest, most significant, and best EDM music festivals globally, and its reputation continues to rise. EDM Artists including Dillon Francis, Alesso, and Martin Garrix play on Tomorrowland's several beautifully constructed stages. Tiesto also performs. More than three million music lovers from more than 200 countries attend the festival, which sells out in seconds every year.

Tomorrowland has become a globally famous music symbol thanks to the Tomorrowland Winter event in the Swiss Alps, the clothing brand, and the One World Radio radio broadcast.

Glastonbury

Glastonbury is unquestionably among the most well-known and well-loved in global music festivals. Worthy Farm in Somerset, England, attracts 200,000 visitors who camp within the area.

Even though it's well-known for showcasing a diverse range of punk, pop, rock, and indie music superstars, the festival also features comedy, theatrical performances, dancing, and spoken word artists. Lionel Richie, The Who, The Killers, Adele, Florence, the Machine, Jay Z, Alt-J, Kylie Minogue, and the famous The Chemical Brothers have all performed at Glastonbury in the past years.

Rock in Rio

Rio de Janeiro is regarded as the town of rock. In addition to the festival hymn, fireworks show, and singers that shake the city, Rock in Rio has a long and rich history. Red Hot Chili Peppers, Charlie Puth, Jessie J, and Drake are just a few of the artists that have performed at the event who have made the news.

The music of Rio de Janeiro has spread to cities like Lisbon, Barcelona, and Vegas as well. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, hosts the event every two years. Around 700,000 individuals are scheduled to join the event. Many different styles of music may be heard during Rock in Rio despite the festival's primary focus on rock.

Fuji Rock Festival

Fuji Rock Event, Asia's most modern pop festival, welcomes you with rock, pop, and experimental music. The event has its headquarters atop Mount Naeba (not Mount Fuji as its title may indicate!) in the center of a lovely forest, making it a must-see destination in Japan. Visitors to the event will have an unforgettable experience since they will be in the middle of a natural setting of mountainous terrain.

The festival's ever-evolving line-up is shown by significant personalities from the worldwide music industry. It's hard to forget MGMT, Odesza, and even the likes of The Cure. It's possible to tent at the festival's campground, but you'll need to acquire your reservation once tickets are accessible.
