A$AP Rocky, Bad Bunny, Disclosure and Paul Kalkbrenner are enough to book a ticket right now? Hell yes!
GLASTONBURY: 26-30th of June, Glastonbury, Inghilterra
A little less known but absolutely worthy of a stop for the variety of its incredible artists. Even though indeed, people don’t talk about it as much as for the others, the Glastonbury is the most famous music and entertainment festival in England. Since 1970 it hosts a bohèmien kind of public that saw performing on stage artists like Robbie Williams and Radiohead.
