The idea of getting out to various festivals abroad is something I’ve been playing with for a while, so it fits neatly in with my long term travel plans.  So my map has been updated to reflect the new destinations.
I have a handful of music festivals  already in mind for my trip, and while I doubt I could do them all, due to the cost and the time it would take to drive between them all (Which I’m sure could be done, but I’d rather move at a more leisurely pace) at this stage of planning it’s all out getting as many options as I can down on paper so I can pick them out when I start looking seriously at a plot able route around the world.

The list of Music Festivals I’m looking at currently includes:

Sziget  in Budapest, Hungary.
Fuji Rock Festival in Japan
Burning Man in the US (Not strictly a music festival, but deserves a place in this list)
Glastonbury in the UK
Iceland Airwaves in Reykjavík, Iceland
Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival in the UK

There are a couple more that I’ve missed off the list since I don’t have the details available yet, but will add them in the near future, along with any new suggestions people make.

Fuji and Iceland will be tricky since I can’t drive there, so they will most likely form parts of other trips to those regions via plane, Iceland in particular I’ve been wanting to visit for a long time now so it’s a shame that it can’t be reached by land.

Glastonbury is already on my current festival circuit, along with a number of smaller festivals in the UK, but is added for completeness of the list. Huddersfield as well is perhaps an unusual choice but the events I’ve seen as part of HCMF I’ve seen for the last couple of years have been amazing and unique gigs.

All the rest have real potential to form part of my route at some point and will probable one of the leading factors taken into consideration when plotting destinations.
