Pregled poletnih glasbenih (rockovskih) festivalov v bližnji okolici razkriva nekaj odličnih izbir, od svežih izvajalcev do rockovskih veteranov.
Največji festival na svetu, britanski Glastonbury, je sicer že davno razprodan, a naj vas to ne ustavi, da se ne bi naužili par dni glasne glasbe, utesnjenega kampiranja in vprašljive higiene kje drugje. Za preverjanje, kdo je ta hip "in" v glasbi, vam niti ni treba daleč - dovolj je že skok čez mejo.
