The 6 Best Music Festivals in the World 2024<\/h1>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t

It\u2019s summer in the Northern Hemisphere and that means one big thing for music: Festival Season. Yes, summer for many artists and bands is the busy season. A time when they pack their bags, guitars and sometimes families onto a plane or bus, and hop across the globe to play their latest album, greatest hits or something altogether new for their adoring fans across the world.<\/p>\n

And do you know who loves music more than any other brand? Everyone\u2019s favourite Irish Whiskey, Jameson, does! Whether it\u2019s dance music, rock, pop, or anything in between, if it\u2019s got a beat, you can bet your bottom dollar that it\u2019s going to pique our interest. <\/p>\n

However, with so many music festivals to choose from, how do you know which one is right for you? Should you consider a popular music festival to attend close by, or is it time to splash out and take a plane to a top music festival abroad? Decisions. Decisions.<\/p>\n

Fear not whiskey lovers, because Jameson (as always) is here to help with your festival indecisiveness! We have curated a list of the best music festivals around the world to help make a very tough choice that little bit easier. Some of which you\u2019ll be familiar with. Some of which you may have never heard of. All of which are just waiting to be discovered!<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Grape Festival<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
\n

Let\u2019s start with heaps of musical variety (and a name we just love). Grape Festival in beautiful Slovakia is an absolute treasure trove of worldwide music acts, particularly, in Europe.<\/p>\n

Huge artists, including Foals, YungBlud, Years and Years, The Vaccines, and Jungle have all played Grape Festival Slovakia in the past with Two Door Cinema Club, Tom Odell and AJ Tracey taking to the stage this year. And it\u2019s not just big names from the Anglosphere of music, Grape Festival hosts a wide range of acts from all over Europe (too many to mention here) and of course lots of local talent.<\/p>\n

The two-day festival is the perfect test drive before giving it the full send on one of the bigger European music festivals next time around. Located on an airstrip surrounded by a large field, Grape Festival has solid surfaces and grass escapes to ensure even if it does rain, the mud is minimised. The festival is fully equipped with activities, including a skateboarding halfpipe, basketball, and volleyball courts, as well as amusements, art installations and crafts. <\/p>\n

The most important attraction of all? Why the Jameson Zone of course! Where you can take a breather with a Jameson cocktail and decide on which act you’re going to see next!<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n

Untold Festival<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
\n

From Slovakia to Romania, where Europe\u2019s answer to Miami\u2019s Ultra Music Festival is here. UNTOLD is Romania’s biggest electronic dance music festival. With a line-up list that could be sold as a short novel, if there is an electronic artist that you want to see, you\u2019ll likely find them here. <\/p>\n

UNTOLD has hosted the biggest names in dance music over the years, including Tiesto, David Guetta, Martin Garrix, and Steve Aoki who all make regular returns to UNTOLD, however, it\u2019s not a space solely for DJs. Established artists outside of the electronic genre make an appearance too! Ticket holders for 2024 have performances from Bruna Boy, Lenny Kravitz, and Sam Smith to look forward to!<\/p>\n

The festival takes place over 4 days in the unofficial capital of Transylvania, Cluj-Napoca! Unfortunately for Dracula and his night-loving friends, they\u2019ll miss out on half the fun, as the festival runs across multiple stages during the day, and during the night!<\/p>\n

The main events are held in the Cluj Arena where 30,000 local football fans regularly watch games, but there are multiple stages within the vicinity of the main stage where you can catch one of the countless EDM acts spinning the decks. What’s more, all of the fun happens right in the city! Yes, the arena isn\u2019t the only place you can get a fresh Jameson, ginger ale and lime<\/a> in hand. When the music ends there are local bars a plenty, ready to serve up some of your favourite Irish whiskey<\/a> cocktails to help you relax after a long day of dancing or\u2026 to help keep the party going!<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n

St Jerome’s Laneway Festival<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
\n

From Europe, we\u2019re going down under! Australia\u2019s biggest touring music festival (yes, you read that correctly – touring) started as a small first anniversary celebration for a recently opened bar, St. Jerome\u2019s, on Melbourne\u2019s Caledonian Lane in 2004. 20 years later the celebration has expanded, bringing artists including Haim, Billie Eilish, Fred Again, and The 1975 for a festival tour of Australia\u2019s major cities for a week and a half of music excellence! Talk about a party getting out of hand!<\/p>\n

Of course, being down under means everything is all topsy-turvy. So, while everyone in the Northern Hemisphere is dealing with the much cooler February days, our Aussie friends are just reaching the end of peak summer weather, perfect for getting outside for an all-day boogie. Keep that in mind when you\u2019re buying your Jameson festival merch for the occasion. We cover all seasons, so make sure you know which season you\u2019re buying for!
\nJust like Jameson, Laneway Festival has something for everyone, with music for across all genres.<\/p>\n

And where you find great music, you\u2019ll also find great whiskey! From Sydney to Perth Jameson is touring with Laneway Festival serving up some of the best festival drinks<\/a>, like the ones you see here!<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrowland<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
\n

Now we\u2019re getting into the heavy-hitters – the BIG music festivals with global name recognition, in the festival world. Names like Primavera Sound, Rock in Rio or, the one everyone and their grandmother has heard of at least once: Tomorrowland!<\/p>\n

Tomorrowland is to the electronic genre, what Disneyland is to theme parks. Not only is Disneyland where Tomorrowland might have taken its name, but the stages, the pageantry, and the excitement of the fans are all akin to the most magical place on earth. <\/p>\n

Tomorrowland\u2019s stages and performances are known for their fantasy theme and spectacle. Constructed to look like castles, dragons, and mythical gardens, the performance spaces are a sight to behold. Actors, dancers, and performers adorn costumes plucked straight from an Alice in Wonderland novel.<\/p>\n

The festival takes place over 2 weekends just outside Antwerp in Belgium and is the Mecca for dance and electronic music fans the world over. And when we say the world over, we mean it! Tomorrowland has sold as many as 600,000 tickets in the past, with people from every corner of the globe coming to Belgium for the festival. Why? Because the best and biggest DJs in the world play here every year, without fail. Which why the world\u2019s favourite Irish whiskey, can be found at the world\u2019s favourite EDM festival. We cannot miss it (and neither should you)<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n

Glastonbury<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
\n

We told you we were getting into the heavy-hitters. Next to Coachella, Glastonbury is one of the world\u2019s mythical and most famous music festivals. To those who have attended or performed at it, there is no changing their mind: It is the best music festival in the world.<\/p>\n

The festival takes place over 5 days during summer and has a 3-year cycle. 3 years of running and one year of rest to allow the English countryside meadows of Somerset, where the festival takes place, to rejuvenate. It\u2019s this respect for nature and fairness that keeps music fans coming back for a second, third or fourth time, but more about that in a minute.<\/p>\n

The famous Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury is the stuff of legends\u2026 as in literal legends of music have performed on it. Paul McCartney, Dolly Parton, David Bowie, Tom Jones, The Rolling Stones, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Johnny Cash, Metallica and many many more have made the Pyramid Stage their own. However, it\u2019s not just huge acts at Glastonbury, every genre of music is catered for. There are stages, event areas, and performance spaces galore to find exactly the right vibe you\u2019re looking for, exactly when you are looking for it and the same goes for drinks too.<\/p>\n

Glastonbury is spoiled for choice when it comes to watering holes, with too many to mention. Rest assured, however, if it\u2019s a sunny day, a refreshing whiskey cocktail or post Pyramid Stage nightcap, Jameson will be readily available throughout the festival grounds!<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n

All Together Now Festival<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
\n

Finally, we bring it all home. Say it with us! All Together Now!<\/p>\n

Yes, All Together Now has been one of Ireland\u2019s premiere music festivals in recent years. Why? Well, because it\u2019s so much more than meets the eye! Situated on the beautiful Curraghmore Estate, in Co. Waterford, the festival hosts an incredible collection of artists from home and abroad, with The National, The Prodigy, Future Islands, Hot Chip and Kojaque all part of this year\u2019s stellar lineup.<\/p>\n

However, music is just the tip of the iceberg! The biggest names in Irish comedy will also be in attendance, including Tommy Tiernan, Emma Doran, and Neil Delamere, ready to tickle attendees’ funny bones left and right. Aside from great acts, there are lots of free activities for adults and children, plus wellness and cultural experiences for festival goers to partake in and some of the best food you can find out of a truck anywhere in the country!<\/p>\n

The thing we love most about All Together Now, isn\u2019t just the atmosphere, the music, the experiences, it\u2019s that we get to be part of it! No really, Jameson is part of the festival! We\u2019re not just serving up delicious drinks for everyone to enjoy, we\u2019re serving up incredible music too! <\/p>\n

The Circle<\/a> is Jameson\u2019s very own stage bringing music and comedy to attendees throughout the entire weekend, with The Murder Capital, Optimo and Morgana all playing intimate gigs for music lovers. With a cocktail in hand and the bands performing in The Circle, there\u2019s no place you\u2019d rather be!<\/p>\n

And there you have it! Jameson\u2019s list of some of the best music festivals for 2024, where you can dance like nobody is watching (and rightly so!). <\/p>\n

It can be hard to dish out your best moves with an open drink in hand\u2026 unless you are doing the robot\u2026 where you can start and stop. Luckily, Jameson is ahead of the game with our brilliant Ready-To-Drink cans<\/a>. Premixed Jameson cocktails, perfect to bust open as you bust a move!<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n
