More about July 2026

July is the peak of the summer season: 952 festivals are running this month worldwide, from sprawling open-air fields to beaches and giant campsites where camping culture rules. After June's build-up, this is the busiest month of the year for simultaneous events, just ahead of August's gentle wind-down toward autumn.

The month brings XXL line-ups such as Mile of Music (United States, 258 artists), Outlook Origins (Croatia, 245 artists), Parookaville (Germany, 241 artists) and Dour Festival (Belgium, 216 artists). The dominant genres remain Pop (639 festivals) and Rock (618), ahead of Electro (508) and Hip-Hop (394).

Geographically, France leads by a wide margin with 273 festivals, ahead of the United States (129), the United Kingdom (107), Germany (93) and Canada (49). If you're planning your summer, July is the month to circle for outdoor events — book tickets and accommodation early, since demand peaks fast between June's rising momentum and August's final stretch of big headliners.
