Question of the Week: What concerts/festivals are you looking forward to this year?

[Elena]

Happy Friday, everyone! Hope this week's been treating you well 🌞

Now that festival season is approaching with rapid steps, I though it would be appropriate to ask if there are any events, concerts, performances you're looking forward to.

If you're like me and enjoy creating themed playlists for those, you get extra internet points for sharing 😄 If not, songs you'd love to hear live are more than welcome.

Let the day dreaming begin 😍

Hi there @Elena,

Thanks for bringing this up!!

There will very soon be an upcoming event in Sofia, Bulgaria and it will most likely be held in "Mixtape" during the month of April. It's the second official local rap battle of the year and I'm super excited to see how it's going to turn out!

One thing is for sure, the first one was crazy fun and the second will be even greater.
Some big names in Bulgarian rap will be the judges and Spens is already confirmed to be there.
There are also unconfirmed rumors that Secta will be the host of the event again, so I'm having big hopes for that!
He is already approaching new heights and is becoming a top quality MC.
Looking forward to seeing him grow! 😄

Keep yourselves updated, folks!
That's it from me 🎶

Cheers!

Ooohhh, tough one!

So much stuff got canceled last years so looking forward to festival summer!

I’ll try to visit Milkshake, Mysteryland, King’s Day festival and Lowlands this year!

For concerts, I’ve only got tickets for Dua Lipa and Oh Wonder; want to visit Sofi Tukker (and many more) later this year as well! 😄

Really can't wait for the RATM concert in Poland this year, I wanted to see them live pretty much forever, super stoked about it 🙂

I've been wanting to see OneRepublic for a long time and just never could get around to it, but they're coming to my city again this Summer so I'm going to hopefully see them finally. I already got tickets!

Wow, I'm jealous! OneRepublic is one of my favorite artists of all time, I'd love to see them live one day. Enjoy Matt!!

• Gabriels 
• Celeste 
• Holy F*** 
• Fat Freddy's Drop 
• Kurt Vile 
• Fleet Foxes 
• Bishop Nehru

Great question, @Elena!

I’m looking forward to seeing two of my favorite bands, Elder and Belzebong, at a concert this August. 

Here are a couple of songs of theirs that I would love to hear live:

Also playing at the concert will be Dreadnought, a doom-prog artist from Colorado that I haven’t listened to before but that I will be sure to check out on Spotify soon.

Cheers!

There were so many concerts that got postponed, so now my list for 2022 has 32 concerts on it alone!

I am really looking forward to festival season: I will visit Slam Dunk Festival in UK, Rock For People Festival and Brutal Assault in Czech Republic for sure!

For everyone who wants to get prepared for concerts and easily generate a playlist for it, I create a handy tool:
