The Sound of Spring
While waiting for the sound of summer, why not listen to the sound of spring – and dance your heart out at one of these three festivals.
Electric Istanbul
Sónar is an institution in Barcelona, but the famous electro festival is celebrating its premiere on the Bosporus this March 24 and 25. Project Moderat from Berlin, Scottish dubstep pioneer Kode9 and the Norwegian space disco royalty Prins Thomas are all part of this spring’s line-up.
Metal in the Mountains
Wacken in the snow: Metalheads from around the world will head to the Nassfeld ski resort in Austria between March 27 and April 2 for the Full Metal Mountain festival. The line-up will include well-known bands such as Amon Amarth, Parkway Drive, Apocalyptica and DragonForce.
Rare fun in Rotterdam
Motel Mozaique – an annual festival of music, performance and surprises – will transform Rotterdam into an adventure playground for indie pop fans on April 7 and 8. Overnight guests get to sleep in churches and shop windows (!).
