Festivals near Luxembourg

A small country at the crossroads of three languages and four borders: in Luxembourg, live music gathers in former steelworks basins and the wooded valleys of the Oesling. Esch-sur-Alzette, an old iron-and-furnace town turned European Capital of Culture, hosts LES FRANCOFOLIES ESCH/ALZETTE and their surge of French-language chanson across the town-hall square. Further north, in the Ardennes, the Festival de Wiltz sets its stages in the castle's open-air amphitheatre, balancing theatre, classical and big pop names.

The rest of the year, the Grand Duchy swings between waterside open airs and rougher nights: E-Lake spreads its free stages over the Echternach lake, LUXEXPO OPEN AIR turns the Kirchberg exhibition grounds into a festival field, while Hells Pells flies the flag for metal.
