Responsible for putting Serbia on the map as a can\u2019t-miss destination for music lovers, the EXIT Festival is our pick for the best festival of 2019<\/strong>. Located inside the Petrovaradin Fortress, this incredible event showcases the very best in electronic music (as well as everything else) in a mass of tunnels and boat moats that have been converted to stages. EXIT has over 40 stages, so there\u2019s something for everyone. We recommend planning ahead and mapping out a must-see for each day.<\/p>\n \n
Insider Tip<\/strong>: Serbia is HOT, normally 30 degrees at sunset. Most of the partying happens as the sun goes down, so be ready to stay up all night.<\/p>\n \n

An oldie but a goodie, you can\u2019t go wrong with Glastonbury. Located in the south west of England, the largest greenfield festival in the world is just a few hours away from most unis. Glastonbury is divided into a number of areas. If you\u2019re looking for the buzz, check out the Pyramid, Other, and Silver Hayes. For something calmer, West Holts is ideal; and for an alternative scene, try Field of Avalon, the Tipi Field, and Green Fields. You\u2019ll be able to mould the experience into exactly what you want, which is ideal for first-timers.<\/p>\n \n
Insider Tip<\/strong>: Experienced festival-goers recommend the \u2018tapas approach\u2019 when it comes to Glastonbury: try a little bit of everything and be open to heading off the beaten track.<\/p>\n \n
3. Tomorrowland<\/a><\/h2>\n \n

Tomorrowland is the world\u2019s biggest dance festival, attracting all the A-list DJs from around the world. It\u2019s a dance enthusiast\u2019s dream, so whether you\u2019re into EDM, techno, house, or hardstyle, you\u2019ll be with the very best in DJs. Tomorrowland has incredible staging, and the surprises get bigger every year. Like Glastonbury, this festival is best-experienced tapas-style. Don\u2019t be afraid to wander away from the main stage to the smaller stages or the 50-person \u2018rave cave\u2019.<\/p>\n \n
Insider Tip:<\/strong> Make sure you head up early for \u2018The Gathering\u2019, a party on Thursday afternoon in Dreamville. It\u2019ll get you in the right mindset for the weekend.<\/p>\n \n

Another one that\u2019s closer to home, Creamfields is the world\u2019s best electronic music festival, drawing almost 70,000 people to the Cheshire countryside every year. The lineup and stage production is always top notch. Like the other festivals on the list, Creamfields has loads of arenas and stages, so it\u2019s best to come with a few ideas about who you want to see, but let the festival take you where it may.<\/p>\n \n
Insider Tip<\/strong>: Dreamfields is a party area all on its own, so be ready for an epic night out.<\/p>\n \n

- Where to Stay<\/strong>: Pitch your own tent, or pay a little extra to stay in a pre-pitched tent in the centre of the action at The Hive Resort.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \n
Rock Werchter has been on the festival scene for almost 40 years, and it shows: this is one of the best-organised festivals you\u2019ll ever attend. It\u2019s a four-day festival in the heart of Belgium that attracts some of the biggest names in music. It\u2019s nicknamed the \u2018Four Days, Four Stages\u2019 festival, which is great if you\u2019re looking for variety. The Main Stage will show you the biggest names in music, while The Barn is for more established acts, KluB C is for the up and comers, and The Slope is for small-time acts.<\/p>\n \n
Insider Tip<\/strong>: stages fill up quickly, and if you see a red X on the door, you won\u2019t be able to go in. Plan ahead to make sure you don\u2019t miss your favourite act.<\/p>\n \n
