The Association of British Travel Agents (Abta) has stated that music festivals outside the UK are a cheaper proposition than attending such festivals in the UK. Better weather conditions abroad mean that holiday-makers can look forward to cheery times and good music and can do without carrying bulky raincoats.
If you are a music buff, you could do well to track the progress of your favorite bands as they do the circuit of Europe. Catching them play on the continent not only gives you a chance to see new places, you will also be paying less for the tickets. But do not forget to take out some travel insurance before you leave.
