August is the heart of the festival summer: open-air gatherings dominate, on beaches, by lakes or in open fields, just before the season tips toward September. This month brings 138 festivals to the calendar, making it one of the high points of the year for live music fans, from multi-day flagship events to smaller, more intimate gatherings, with line-ups spread across several days and venues.

Among the biggest line-ups, We Out Here lists 150 artists, ahead of Medusa Sunbeach Festival on the beach at Cullera (129 artists), Nibirii Festival by the Dürener Badesee (126) and Green Man Festival in the Brecon Beacons (115). Genre-wise, rock leads with 49 festivals, followed by electronic music (44) and pop (42), with dance and house also well represented.
