What can be better than world class music in a special location with heady crowds?
Not much we don’t think. Thankfully you have so many options all over the world that there really is something to suit all budgets now.
Here is our round up of some of the best.
There can be no location quite as historic and special as this one – it is in the cradle of human civilization amongst ancient mountains eroded by aeons of weather. There will be camel rides, balloon trips, yoga, and so much more to explore as well as the rich local culture and customs. The sounds come from tasteful names including Lee Burridge, Mind Against, Seth Troxler, WhoMadeWho, Chaim b2b Jenial, Tarsol, Elif, Majnoon and many more.
This city has been named European Capital of Culture so this is a perfect chance to go check it out. The music is bold and the locations range from art galleries to steel factories. Helena Hauff and Aurora Halal are amongst the best headliners.
This year Hide&Seek returns for a third edition after two super early editions in 2019 and 2021.

This year, Zip, Todd Terje, Apollonia, Sonja Moonear, Priku, Fumiya Tanaka, Raresh and many more line up.
