      <description><![CDATA[The first Spirit of Burgas, on the Black Sea Coast of Bulgaria, got going in August 2008 hosting Asian Dub Foundation,  Groove Armada, The Sisters of Mercy on a few stages and tent venues.  It attracted some good, international DJs as well.  The idyllic, sunny, sandy surrounds might have had something to do with it.

      <description><![CDATA[Alternative to mainstream guitar pop, but laced with electronica, rock and hip hop, this first Frequency Festival went off in Vienna, 2001 with only two stages, and it's been going and growing since.  To give an idea of the kinda acts they attract to their race track, field camping setting, in August 2009 they host Bloc Party, Kasabian and The Prodigy.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This festival is held on a sandy island in the middle of the Danube, in Budapest.  It's not a small island or a small festival though, it has about 1000 performances to it, with sounds spanning genres from folk to blues to jazz to world music to dance to rock on the big stages.  This is a serious festival and expect big names in all genres from R.E.M. To the Fatboy Slim, to the Foo Fighters and the Buena Vista Social Club Orquesta.  It also has some Burning Man style tripped out amusement park events if all that music isn't enough to drive you to ecstasy.
If you really want to arrive in the spirit of things the festival has a 'party train' with resident DJs that will transport you eastwards to the appropriate soundtrack.  It's supposed to work out cheaper than the larger UK festivals, and it certainly does if you try and enter via the river &ndash; swimming or paddling &ndash; but that's not recommended and if you get your tent wet you're going to be at risk of having a miserable time.  You can stay on the island, but lots of people opt to stay in Budapest thus guaranteeing a hot shower and clean toilets.
It's all happening mid August.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[While a trumpet festival may not sound cool, you'd be really, really wrong if you thought this festival was a bunch of old trumpet players blowing off.  More than 600,000 people converge on Guča, population 2,000, for this free event and  competition &ndash; oh yes, it's not just a three day festival but a competition as well.
On the traditional side you have competing orkestras, playing three folk tunes each which dancers in national dress dance to, and on the other side you have the kind of world music fuelled party that has been said to trump Glastonbury and the Burning Man for atmosphere, just with a lot more brass.  Have a look at the clips on youtube if you're still not convinced that this is one of the coolest events around.
Guča's trumpet celebration takes place annually in early August.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The trendy Berlin club scene has spread outside Berlin, into a coal mine that's been converted into an amusement park of all places.  Under mining gear decked out in mirror balls, cutting edge of cool indie, electro and disco music plays and the cool kids get right down to it.  They get the big names in too, for example the 2009 line up includes Bloc Party, Apex twin and Oasis, but they also get a lot of up-and-commers and DJs and there are more than 80 live acts performing over six floors of old mine.  
Dates in mid to late July.

      <description><![CDATA[This festival has a reputation for memorable parties, or forgotten parties, depending on your tolerance.  The music happens out of the Octopussy Beach Club, Calvi, Corsica, which is a pretty scenic surrounds, complete with local ruins, ancient churches and azure sea lined beaches, and since the dance fest became a favourite of LCD Soundsystem DJ James Murphy in 2005 it's become much talked about.
It all happens round the beginning of July.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Croatia's Dalmatian Coast is a nice place to visit in the summer, though it might be a bit of a surprise to come across one of Europe's largest dance festivals on an otherwise fairly quiet pocket of coast &ndash; but no less than seven major dance festivals are held here each year.  The Electric Elephant is one of these, run by a crew out of Manchester called Electric Chair who promise 'Balearic spaced out beach parties, blissed out acoustic-folk psychedelia on the moonlight stage' and a club, a dance terrace and a big old boat which goes out twice a day for a floating party feel.
The fishing village where the festival is held is small and old, 900 years old, and it's a good spot for National Parks, beaches and sailing, but not so good a spot for cash machines etc..]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Festinho brings a shot of the Brazilian life to the Tudor grounds of Kentwell Hall.  Featuring what the organisers promise to be the best new acts from London to San Salvador, this terribly English setting gets strewn with Brazilian flags, doused in rum and caipirinhas, permeated with the scent of Brazilian barbecue and flooded with funk you can't not dance to.
Camping is part of the experience and if you can the idea is to dance all night, then recharge in the morning with yoga before heating it back up with samba classes.  As well as music across four stages and more genres, there's a percussion workshops and jam sessions, capoeira and film screenings &ndash; Brazilian films &ndash; but because this is a small festival their website also makes some pleasant commitments about hot showers and adequate facilities for all, including the kids who are welcome to hang in the play section.
But the thing that will really have you feeling good about this festival is that it's put on by the ABC Trust and all profits got towards helping Brazilian Street Kids.  Happens round the beginning of September.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The exact location of this festival is supposed to be secret &ndash; until you're on your way there  on the August Bank Holiday weekend at least &ndash; but it's in a green and rolling space which is mirrored off still, Northamptonshire lakes.  The  line up is an equal mystery, but the vibe is less secret, they've gone for 'olde worlde festival' of very varied entertainment &ndash; in the past that has included some big international names, as well as the best local folk, funk, electro, brass and thumping beats.
As well as the music there are some unique entertainment options as well as the now more standard meditation tents, chill out zones and camp fires &ndash; they've had hot tubs, a non-stop cabaret, hula dancing, a knitting circle, a freestyle gurning competition and a tea dance.  The more fringe the more the organisers like it.  Your outfit is more important than your wellies at Shambala &ndash; all the cool kids opt for fancy dress.  You can also hire your own luxury tipi or yurt to keep you comfy between the beat poetry and the break beats.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Don't get complacent at this festival's name, yes, it's kinda cool in a kinda naff kinda way, but it's also on a moor in the Yorkshire Dales between Leeds and Bradford so it's descriptive, as well as the kind of name that rolls off your tongue.  The setting is nothing short of lovely: pleasing, and the music will be pleasing to variety of tastes, with stages for blues and acoustic, rock and reggae and one for electronica raving.  There are also performance spaces for cabaret, break dancing, circus skills and a cinema tent.  There's also a kid's tent.  And a cycle powered disco where you have to pedal to party, so for once saying there's something for everyone isn't a naff exaggeration.
Moor Music is independent and un-sponsored so there are a lot of local acts on the bill and not that many huge names.
The festival dates change but they're usually round the first or second week of August.]]></description>
