  1. I love music, that’s a fact. That’s why I found very difficult defining ONE festival as my favourite, because there are so many in the whole world, and a lot of them are actually good! But after thinking it I decided that my favourite one is the Glastonbury Festival, which takes place in London since de 70’s. It lasts 5 days, and it includes indie rock, alternative rock, some pop and even hip-hop… some headliners I liked in the past years include Muse, Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, Metallica and Gorillaz. And yes, if you’re wondering… IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE and it hurts to know that I’m not there every year :(

    Here, have a video of my favourite band playing my favourite song in my favourite festival, hope you enjoy it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_ZFcBao4Tg

  2. in my opinion the best music festival is Tomorrowland, this is an electronic music festival that celebrates in Belgium since 2005. In this festival only electronic music is played, this quite expensive festival runs about 130,000 pesos entry per day . In this festival we can see big DJs like Steve Aoki, David Guetta, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Martin Garrix among others.

    Here is my video about the festival: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2coej5_tomorrowworld-2014-aftermovie-short-film_creation

  3. The setting alone is enough to coax hordes of people to Sasquatch! As the main stage is literally on the precipice of a giant cliff overlooking a majestic gorge. For me i think the sasquatch is the best festival, because of the location, creativity and musical diversity, also how could it not be the best festival if it sold out in a record 90 minutes in 2013?
    Here's a video of a band presentation, so you all can have a better vision of it:

  7. I need to say that music is my life, I know so much music festivals but I think that the best is the IHeartRadio Music Festival, it's a two-day festival of "Las Vegas" and "Nevada" since 2011.
    In this festival you can see the most popular artists in a genre, then you can hear all genres of music, but is more probably that you will going to hear pop, rock, hip-hop or electronic music.
    The artists are different all the years, because all the year arrive to the world of the music new artists, for example the last year came to this festival artists like Nicki Minaj, David Guetta, Ariana Grande, Magic!, Iggy Azalea and more.
    Talking about prices, it's expensive for the type of artist and the exciting experience, but the tickets are in downward trend with the years.

  8. The best festival of music is "The Ultra festival",in Miami,United States..It's a festival of the electronic music in which the best dj's of the world come, or rather,the crème of the crème,for example some dj's as:David Guetta,Nicky Romero,Avicii,Nervo,Skrillex,Hardwell,Martin Garrix,The House mafia.Afrojack,Armin Van Buuren,etc. I think that the best edition of the festival was The Ultra Festival 2014.

This one combines electronic music, lights, dance, and big dj's those who transform this one into one of the best festivals of the world. This festival is celebrated in more than ten countries being the principal USA with the great festival celebrated in Miami, where there appears the best dj's of the whole world, such as: Skrillex, Hardwell, David Guetta, Kill the noise, Knife Party, Avicii, Calvin Harris, etc.

  10. I love good music, and for this, It’s hard to choose only one.I like the Montreux Jazz festival, It is made in Switzerland and its length is of 3 days. It’s made on the lake Geneva shoreline in Montreux. Some of the genres that you could listen to, are the Jazz,blues,swing,soul, rock and pop with big and renowned musicians performing in the same place, such as BB King,Bill Evans, Ella Fitzerald,Miles Davis, Van Morrison, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton and many more. The festival is a little expensive but isn’t out of reach. I wish I could attend some day to listen to good jazz and to know to other music lovers.
    Here, is the perform of one of my favourite soul singers, Ella Fitzerald https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYB6BYjTC_0

  11. My favorite festival is Summerfest. It is an annual music festival which is carried out in Milkwoukee, Wisconsin. The festival lasts for eleven days, is made up of eleven stages with performances of more than seven hundred bands!!!! And since the 70's it has been active from late June to early July, usually including the 4th of July holiday.
    Summerfest attracts a lot of people, between 800,000 and 1,000,000 each year, and promotes itself as "The world's largest music festival", title which was certified by The Guinness World Records in 1999.
    I have a favorite opening headline and it is from 2001, the year Destiny's Child was there. I honestly think it was epic because I love my queen Beyonce, she slays everything and everyone. Here's the link https://youtu.be/5b5wc4eOaUI

  12. The festival of music that i like is the viña's festival, this is a big festival in which are present different kind of music like rock, pop, etc. In this festival are present singers and bands of different parts of the world; some of these were Jonas Brothers, Reik, Romeo Santos, Ricardo Arjona, Daddy Yankee, among others. Besides of these presentations and the comedians that present his routines;there are singers or musicians that will participate in the folk competition showing his songs for win this competition. The viña's festival is expensive, but if you like the artist to be presented it will be worth.

  13. One of my favorite festivals is The Woodstock festival, but it doesn't exists anymore. It was held in New York, southwest of the town Woodstock. At this festival used to attend around 400.000 young people to see more than 32 performances in four days, which were the days the festival fuctioned.
    It was active since 1969 to 2009, and one of its epics acts was when The Rolling Stones performed! I think the coolest bands/singers who have been there are Santana, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Joni Mitchell, etc. I like them because they make some badass and phenomenal music and here's my favorite performance of them all. Here's the link https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nPauXWjY4T8 .

  14. From my point of view the best music festival in the world is the Glastonbury festival. In this festival we can listen to a lot of music genres like: rock, pop, rock, indie and electronic music. This spectacular show takes place at Pilton, Somerset, England. General admission full weekend tickets (valid from Wednesday 24th June to Monday 29th June) for Glastonbury Festival cost 220 euros + 5 euros booking fee per ticket. Finally, in this festival we can see artists like Coldplay, U2, Gorillaz, Oasis, Muse, Paul McCartney, Beyoncé, Kasabian, etc.

  15. Hello Teacher!
    First I don’t like a music festival, because I don’t have the culture of the music, but I know about different festival, for example Rock in Rio, Lollapalooza, Tomorrowland, Rockslide, etc. I think that everything goes in the idiosyncrasy, because people that different festival are showy or interesting, everything is in the taste of people, for example a person who likes Rock, they can’t think that a Reggae Festival is good, or a K-Pop festival, to say something.
    Now If you ask me my favorite festival, My answer is like “I don’t have a favorite festival, but I like Reggae’s Festivals”, for example Reggae Rising, Reggae on River, Wonder Dream Concert, and others. But I don't know much about the characteristic of the festival, for example the price, dates, etc. My principal knowledge is in the genre and artist for example Ziggy and Damian Marley, Pablo Moses, UB40, Fidel Nadal, Gondwana, and others exponents of Reggae
    In this video we can see a performance in Reggae Rising Festival 2007 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxS7sA-zr44 (One of my favorite song’s and a son of a King!)

It is very expensive since is it goes from $35000 pesos to $300000 pesos. In Mysteryland you can see many artists such as Laidback Luke, DJ Raff, DJ Bibman, DJ Caso, Daniel Klauser among others.

  19. I love differents styles of music, that is a fact, but talking about music festivals I will choose Rock in Rio festival.
    Rock in Rio is an event originating in Brazil, is a recurring music festival located in Rio de Janeiro. It later branched into other locations such as Lisbon, Madrid and Las Vegas.
    The genres of this festival are rock, pop, indie, heavy metal, that does not mean that these are the only genres that we can see, it is just that these are the most representatives.
    In the history of this festival we can see a big variety of artists, the more representatives are Queen, Amy Winehouse, SOAD, AC/DC, etc, the important of this festival is the big variety of artists with differents genres is for that reason that a lot of people likes this festival.The price of this festival is not much expensive.
    For example in this video we can see a performance of The Pretty Reckless at Rock In Rio, they are a band of rock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZevcVbmD4Y.

  21. In my opinion the most wonderful and amazing festival that I know is Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. It is located in the Inland Empire's Coachella Valley in the Colorado Desert. This festival features many genres of music, such as rock, indie, hip hop, and electronic music, with artists like Muse, Lorde, Beck, Neutral Milk Hotel, Calvin Harris, Motörhead, Haim, Bastille, Foster the People, Ellie Goulding,, Kid Cudi, Lana Del Rey, The 1975 and Arcade Fire. All of this sounds fantastic but if we talk about money you need between $300 to $500 to buy one ticket and I'm not going to talk about vip tickets :c
    Coachella also includes giant sculptures and art installations and most of them are interactive! and that's probably one of the most interesting things about this festival.
    Here I will let you teacher two videos one of 2014 and the other is from this year. Hope you enjoy it

  22. I don't know much about festivals but I really like "Festival del Huaso de Olmue". It is a national one, where people from other countries can come as well. This festival takes place in Chile, and obviously, in Olmue. It first edition was in 1970s, but it has been transmitted on tv since 1984 by different national channels, such as UCV Television, TVN, Chilevision, and Canal 13.
    I like this festival because it is mostly about national music and I enjoy it a lot. Also it has humor sometimes and I think that's cool.
    Besides, prices range between $14,300 Gallery and $53,900 VIP.
    Here's a video if you don't know much about it.

  24. Yeah, certainly the music is a topic that can get closer to us and is something "indispensable" for some people, i'm included in this list, cause the music has a very important work, which is help us to show our emotions.However, for me is more comfortable listen to my favorites musicians in the safety of my home and don't pay a lot of money for a really expensive ticket for listen and watch something that can be free in my computer. Although if someone gives me a free ticket to go a festival of my choice, i think that can be funny go to a country or folk festival of USA, you know, with farmers, weird lyrics and the like, i think that "country Jam" can be interesting, or another but the most important is the presence of "Rednex" band xD they are amazing...and weird lol.

    they are Rednex, i really love this song, is very funny and has a quite good rhythm.
