Bucket list music festivals worth skipping work for…
There’s something pretty damn awesome about music festivals.
Not only can you catch ALL of your fave artists at once, but there’s also the randoms, delicious food, fashion and of course being able to #livelastminute and dance well into the night (or next day) with your besties.
According to our latest survey results, Aussies love music so much they’d do almost ANYTHING (including being put in the doghouse by their partner, bestie or boss!) just to see their fave bands play.
Infact, Aussies are happy to skip most things to see their fave band…
- Over one in two people admit they would skip work
- One in three would skip an important family event
- One in five people would miss their partners birthday
- Almost one in six would go as far as postponing their honeymoon!
So, without further ado, heres are our picks of the ultimate, bucket-list worthy, music festival bunch:
Coachella, California:
The ultimate celeb-spotting festival, join all of the cool A-lister Hollywood crowd as they descend on the Californian desert for a few days of awesome music and good vibes.
2016 Date: 15 – 17 April 2016
Glastonbury Festival, UK:
Inspired by the 1970’s hippie movement, this action packed, five-day event is def the muddiest festival in the world – so make sure you pack your gumboots!
2016 Date: 22 – 26 June 2016
Omg I want to go to London right now!
Tomorrowland, Belgium:
If electronic music is your thing, this is a festival not to be missed! Dance the days away at the one of the world’s biggest electronic music festivals.

I need flights to Belgium. Like right now.
Splendour in the Grass, Byron Bay NSW
For home grown music goodness, and plenty of A list internationals, you can’t beat heading to Byron and pitching a tent for one of Australia’s best music festivals. Often called Splendour In The Mud- gumboots are a must!
2016 date: late July 2016
Aww yiss! Fly me to Byron Bay now.
Burning Man, Nevada:
Gather in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert with tens of thousands of other “Burners” in this one of a kind festival dedicated to community, art, self-expression and self-reliance.
2016 Date: 28 August – 5 September 2016
Lollapalooza:
If alternative rock, punk, heavy metal or hip hop is your thing, then head to either Chicago, Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Columbia, Santiago or Berlin in 2016 (or really #livelastminute and commit to following the festival around the world!)
2016 Date: throughout 2016.
Governors Ball Music Festival, New York City:
This two day Summer festival features the very best mix of music with rock, electronic, hip-hop, indie, Americana, pop and folk artists. However it’s not all about the music, with many NYC restaurant pop-ups and the food trucks to die for on show!
2016 Date: 3 – 5 June 2016
