From the moment we arrived, you could feel the positive energy everywhere. And I guess it\u2019s not that surprising \u2014 people buy their tickets as soon as they go on sale and plan for the festival all year. Also, being a food writer, I have to note that the food and drink options were pretty amazing and not just in the Tastes of the World restaurant where I presented my signature dish.<\/p>\n<p>I would recommend going with an open mind, making friends and wearing comfortable shoes \u2014 if you\u2019re dancing from morning to night you\u2019ll need them. I\u2019d also recommend giving yourself an extra day to explore Brussels and\/or Antwerp \u2014 really cool, unique cities, and again, plenty of food stuff to try: great beer, moules frites, charcuterie, and in Brussels especially, a Parisian-like caf\u00e9 culture. &#8211; Caitlin, <a href=\"https:\/\/back2spain.com\">Back to Spain<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12167\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12167\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12167 lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/festival-8-min.jpg\" alt=\"We rank the best music festivals in 2018\" width=\"1024\" height=\"820\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/festival-8-min.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/festival-8-min-900x721.jpg 900w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/820;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12167\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/visualhunt.com\/author\/679a44\">sergejf<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/visualhunt.com\/re\/adc641\">Visualhunt<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\"> CC BY<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<blockquote><p>Dreamville and the stages are as dreamy as you see in all the photos and videos.

It\u2019s always full of surprises and secrets, for example last year there was a small party place that you could only enter through a toilet (but nobody knew which toilet, so we all had to find it, haha).<\/p>\n<p>Prepare for the seven days. It\u2019s a lot longer than most festivals and if you get very drunk and don\u2019t sleep for like 3-4 days, you won\u2019t survive till the seventh day. I always plan a bit ahead and don\u2019t get extremely exhausted in the first few days so I can last till the end. &#8211; Emma, <a href=\"https:\/\/iemmafashion.com\/\">IEMMA<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p><em>Travel to: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/i\/europe-sziget-festival\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sziget <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<h2><b>Best music festival with South American origins: Rock in Rio<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Where:<\/strong> Lisbon, Portugal<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>When<\/strong>: June 23\u201330, 2018<\/li>\n<li><strong>For:<\/strong> Rock and Pop fans<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rock in Rio has had the privilege of hosting the likes of Queen, Whitesnake and The Go-Go\u2019s on stage on its very first run in 1985.
