10. Norway - Hove and Oya are Norway’s two most prominent festivals and both of them draw music lovers from across Europe.

This year’s bill features dozens of acts including Skrillex, Rise Against, Lana Del Ray, and the Dropkick Murphys.

Japan - Experience “They’re big in Japan” on a whole new level at Fuji Rocks, where a lineup of A-list acts, old favourites, and emerging talent from around the world take the stage over three days. The bill for 2012 includes performers such as Radiohead, Beady Eye, Jack White, Refused, The Stone Roses, and Los Lonely Boys. Fuji Rocks is held in Niigata Prefecture and the festival venue can be reached by taking a flight to Tokyo, then an hour’s ride on the bullet train to Echigo Yuzawa station. ?Find cheap flights to Japan

8. Denmark - Roskilde is the largest music festival in Northern Europe.

7. Australia -The name alone gives the Big Day Out a sense of occasion, and with multiple venues hosting concerts in several cities simultaneously, this festival lives up to its name. To make your trip to Australia worthwhile, consider taking in other Aussie music fests as well, like Homebake, Meredith, Splendour in the Grass, and Parklife. ?Find cheap flights to Australia

6. Ireland - While there’s never a shortage of live music to enjoy in Ireland any day of the year, Electric Picnic and Oxegen are highlights of the annual festival calendar, which includes hundreds of events such as Sea Sessions and Life.
