Nuke Festival, Austria
All over Europe, there's a vivid music festival scene, however almost on every continent there's a plethora of various music festivals up and coming. Especially due to the struggles of the music industry, music festivals are on their way of becoming a substantial and elementary part in the entire music business - if not THE crucial part.
Aside from large and well-known festivals there are also many unknown, secret and hidden music festivals around the planet. Be it on the rooftops of New York City or in the swamps of the Amazonas - tell us which festivals you think, everybody should visit at least once - let's go...

I wrote a little piece about some top music festivals for summer 09. Even got a mention in Monday's NY Times:Bama Jam: Enterprise, Alabama (June 4-6). The 3-day music and arts festival down south is not only a good time, but also most proceeds are going towards a good cause. Money raised during the event will help support the needs of the surrounding areas in Alabama. The headliners include Kid Rock, The Black Crowes, Taylor Swift, and G. Love & Special Sauce. For information on the full lineup and ticket prices, check out Bama Jam’s official website.Bonnaroo: Manchester, Tennessee (June 11-14). This lively4-day event is located in the lesser known town of Manchester, Tennessee (just one hour south of Nashville). The show will include an all-star line up, with performances by “The Boss” Bruce Springsteen, Nine Inch Nails, Beastie Boys, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and many more. For information on the full lineup and ticket prices, check out Bonnaroo’s official website.Here are some more...http://www.thebrooklynnomad.com/?p=1032

I haven't been to a whole lot of festivals (my boyfriend is a fan and really enjoyed Rock im Ring), but I like Chiemsee's Reggae Festival set on a beautiful lake in Bavaria every August. http://www.en.chiemsee-reggae.de/
