More about March 2027

March 2027 marks the restart of the festival season after the winter lull, with 37 festivals taking place worldwide. It's a transitional month: the last indoor club nights gradually give way to the first open-air dates, in an atmosphere dominated by the Dutch electronic and hardcore scene, alongside a very much alive British punk presence.

The calendar is led by Paaspop in the Netherlands and its 126 artists, closely followed by the Manchester Punk Festival (119 artists) and the Southport Weekender Festival (99 artists) in the United Kingdom. Masters Of Hardcore confirms the Dutch scene's weight this early spring. On the genre side, Electro (17 festivals) narrowly leads Dance and Rock (16 festivals each).

Geographically, the United States host the highest number of events (8), ahead of the Netherlands (6), Australia (5) and the United Kingdom (5) — a more scattered scene of smaller US events, while the month's biggest gatherings stay concentrated in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. After a quieter February, March starts the shift toward open air before the season fully opens in April.
