Rock at festivals

Rock festivals are mostly outdoor, summer, multi-stage events with a campsite. Bills cover alternative rock, indie, punk, garage and stoner. Some of the longest-running are in northern Europe: Ruisrock on Ruissalo island in Turku, Finland, dates from 1970, and Rock Werchter, near Leuven in Belgium, started in 1974 as a one-day event.

In France, Eurockéennes de Belfort has run since 1989 on the Malsaucy peninsula between two lakes, in early July. Rock en Seine, first held on 27 August 2003, takes place at the end of August in the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud, on the western edge of Paris. Rock Werchter falls on the first weekend of the Belgian summer holidays, late June or early July. Outside summer, Rolling Stone Beach in Germany and Helldorado in the Netherlands keep rock bills going in November.
