More about November 2026
November marks the season's retreat across Europe, as open-air stages give way to venues and clubs. Yet 83 festivals still light up the month worldwide in 2026, blending intimate electronic club nights with large open-air gatherings that make the most of milder weather in North America and Oceania.
The month leans electronic, between EDC Orlando (United States, 147 artists) and A State of Trance (Netherlands, 53 artists), while Le Guess Who? (Netherlands, 108 artists) spreads an eclectic lineup across multiple venues. Still in the United States, Warped Tour Orlando (78 artists) gathers a wide bill, while A3 Festival (Australia, 55 artists) makes the most of the southern spring. Genre-wise, rock (39 festivals) and pop (35) lead by far, ahead of electronic (28) and hip-hop (24).
Geographically, the United States tops the list with 18 festivals, ahead of France (14), the United Kingdom (8), then Australia and Germany tied at 7 each. After the gradual wind-down that began in October, November confirms the shift indoors across Europe before December's festive run — a good time to discover new artists in from the cold.
