More about January 2027

January opens the year with a mostly wintry calendar: in Europe and North America, festivals tend to take place indoors, in mountain resorts or aboard ships, while Australia makes the most of its summer for open-air events. The month lists 31 festivals, a more modest volume than in the height of summer but enough to kick off the live music season.

Among the biggest line-ups, Groove Cruise 2027 in Nassau brings together 128 artists, ahead of the 30A Songwriters Festival 2027 in Santa Rosa Beach (106 artists) and The MusicFest Steamboat 2027 in Steamboat Springs (64 artists). Lollapalooza India 2027 in Mumbai rounds out the leading group. Stylistically, rock (15 festivals) and pop (14) dominate, followed by electronic music (12).

Geographically, France and the United States are level with 9 festivals each, ahead of Australia (5) and Czech Republic (1). To keep exploring, check out December 2026 for the end of the year or February 2027 for the rest of winter.
