Rock festivals are one of the favorite holiday destinations for fans of heavy music. During the warm season, all over the world, young people regularly gather in one place to relax and see their favorite performers live.

Such festivals have long gone beyond the scope of an ordinary music show, turning into an entire subculture. Fans from all over the world come to the most important concerts of the year.

Origin

The first rock festivals began to be held more than fifty years ago. Initially, they were very different from modern ones. Groups unknown to the general public took part in them. But the organization and holding of the festival itself was not controlled by the authorities.

However, ten years later the situation has changed significantly. Rock festivals began to attract more and more young people. Unlimited alcohol was sold during the show. Also, some people brought drugs with them.

The atmosphere of drive caused by heavy music, as well as the state of mass intoxication, often led to disastrous consequences. The heated young people behaved quite aggressively, getting into fights and committing acts of vandalism. Various objects were often thrown at the arriving police.

Unbridled joy

Not a single festival took place without detaining several dozen people and calling an ambulance. Therefore, law enforcement agencies gradually began to take control of rock festivals. But safety is not main reason, which prompted the authorities to take such a step.

Large corporations and enterprising people have noticed that festivals attract tens of thousands of people every year. This means a huge opportunity for profit.

The first commercial festivals began to be held. Some company paid royalties to the musicians and took care of other organizational issues. For this she received a good profit from ticket sales and retail on the spot. After some time, rock festivals in the USA took a very important place in the dream of almost every teenager to attend such an event.

In addition to classical festivals, there are also charity festivals. They first appeared in the eighties, during the spread of pacifist ideas among young people. The American invasion of Vietnam became a catalyst for radical movements. Concerts began to be organized in support of or to help sick children, and so on. As a rule, the initiator was one rock band. The festival was scheduled several months before the date. During this time, other groups could apply to participate.

Carrying out

Usually the festival lasts several days, usually three. To avoid misunderstandings with the local population and other problems, the show takes place in a desert area, far from the urban agglomeration. Summer rock festivals have high safety standards. Organizers are required to provide water to all visitors and have medical personnel.

Performers of similar genres usually perform at a rock festival. For example, at the Hellfest festival there are bands playing in the mosh beatdown hardcore genre. Thus, the event attracts the largest number of fans this direction. Since rock music often carries a social or political context, festivals are often held as a protest against something. So, in 1989, the famous “Musicians for Peace” took place in Moscow, attracting tens of thousands of people.

Possible problems

Those planning to attend such an event should be aware that there are a number of dangers associated with it.

Since the show location is located far outside the city, it is necessary to take as much water and non-perishable food as possible. There will be shops on site, but the queue for them can stretch for hundreds of meters. Similar problems regularly accompany "Invasion". The rock festival has been held for more than seven years, and during this time many unpleasant situations have occurred. Several times there were problems with water, which could not be delivered on time.

You should wear the most comfortable clothes that will not fall off during active movements. At festivals such as Woodstock, there is often a mosh pit - an element of hardcore dancing, when great amount people are running in a circle, performing chaotic movements with their limbs. If you have never participated in something like this, then it is better to stay away from the circle.

Also, put all valuables in a zippered bag or pockets, as in the frantic pace they may simply fall out. Some festivals allow stage diving - jumping from the stage into the crowd. They are made by both the musicians and those present. The jump is usually not associated with much risk, but most likely you will lose your comrades. Therefore, before the start of the festival, it is better to decide in advance on the meeting place in case of unforeseen situations.

2018 can already be called generous with events, thanks to frequent visits from the world's largest rock icons. And this year they really spoil their fans with regular visits! This is also a concert of the unique G3 project of one of the greatest guitarists of all time, Joe Satriani, in March. And the hot April performances of the bands Halloween, Rainbow, revived by Ritchie Blackmore and, of course, Ken Hensley from Uriah Heep at the ROCK FM Birthday. At the end of May we were shaken up by Deep Purple, who celebrated their 50th anniversary. And on July 13, for the first time in Russia, the unrivaled Guns n’Roses will perform with their original lineup!

But if for fans of classic rock such vigorous concert activity was not enough, or for one reason or another you did not have time to attend these concerts full of drive and lively energy of sounds, do not be upset. Especially for fans of cult rock bands and painfully recognizable guitar licks, ROCK FM, together with National Geographic, has compiled a selection of iconic music festivals where you can hear real rock and roll this year.

Electronica and hip-hop for five days in the south of Belgium

Melt!

Cutting-edge electronics and related genres among giant excavators

Venue Melt! itself is colorful, with scenes set among six Godzilla-like machines that were once used in mining.

Well, with this low attendance, the lineups are consistently strong - there is something to go for. The stereotype “festival in Germany = techno” cannot be followed: indeed, there are a couple of venues where nothing else sounds, there is a stage that is traditionally supervised by Modeselektor every year, but in general the lineup is always very universal and quite advanced.

The largest Belgian festival after Rock Werchter with almost 200,000 visitors

Despite an extensive history of disasters and catastrophes in its history, Pukkelpop remains one of the most sought-after European festivals.

Tomorrowland

All the most important things from the world of EDM

The Tommorowland festival takes place near the village of Boom in Belgium and, by a surprising coincidence, represents the boom in EDM music that has not stopped for many years.

As a result, the festival sets sales records: stories about how tickets for the event run out in a matter of seconds have become commonplace.

Lollapalooza Paris

The most popular festival brand makes its debut in Paris

The most popular festival brand Lollapalooza, created in the early 1990s by Janeʼs Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell, started in Chicago, then acquired branches in South America, and in 2014 came to Europe.

Off

A festival without formal headliners, with an illogical selection of artists - in short, super

Instead of the stereotypical lineup that is usually offered at European festivals, visitors to the Off held in Polish Katowice will find miracles and contrasts - at first glance, a careless selection of artists will be remembered for a long time. The lineup is still far from being called complete, but there is already something to look at: Feist arrives with a new record, his first in six years, the great outsider Daniel Johnston performs, the group Boris plays the album “Pink” from start to finish.

Where Katowice, Poland

Who Swans, PJ Harvey, Feist, Talib Kweli, Karla Bozulich, Conor Oberst, Daniel Johnston, Jesse Lanza, Royal Trux, Shellac, Thee Oh Sees, Silver Apples, Boris, Michael Gira, Mother Mother, Preoccupations, Riley Walker, The Men , The Black Madonna, Wolves in the Throne Room

How many 3 days - 270 zł, camping - 60 zł

Øyafestivalen

A strong northern festival with tempting exclusives

The predictably expensive Norwegian festival Øya is conveniently located in the heart of Oslo and annually attracts a win-win lineup. In addition to the obligatory headliners in the form of Lana Del Rey and The xx, who roam the summer festivals, Øya also has a place for exclusive wonders, like the space rockers Spiritualized announced this year, who engaged the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra especially for their upcoming show.

Punks in the city is legendary, and one of the main punk rock festivals in Russia. A year ago he returned from an 11-year hiatus. But such popular groups as Pornofilms, Yorsh, NAIV, Operation Plasticine, Elysium, etc. have already visited the stage of this event.

Guide to summer rock festivals 2014 from rRock.ru (part 2)

Summer has begun and that means it’s time for numerous rock festivals. Despite the fact that in 2014 several usual open-air events will not be held in Russia (Rock over the Volga, Maxidrom, Wings), there are no fewer rock festivals in the country. In order not to get confused in the numerous festivals, rRock.ru presents you with a guide to the largest music rock festivals of the summer of 2014, which has already become a tradition. This year our guide is divided into two parts. The second part is devoted to two summer months - July and August (the first part of the guide about the festivals of May and June can be studied here).

The first festival in July will be the largest and most ambitious open-air of the season - “the main adventure of the summer” “Invasion”. Over three days (July 4, 5 and 6) in the already familiar place in the Tver region (the village of Bolshoye Zavidovo), about 100 groups will perform on two stages: Lyapis Trubetskoy, Night Snipers, Alisa, Pilot, Kipelov, Melnitsa, Bi-2, Semantic hallucinations, SerGa, Accident, Picnic, Naive, Surganova and the orchestra, Megapolis, Kukryniksy, Nastya, KnyaZz, Kalinov Bridge and many others. There will also be artists at the “Invasion” who either have not often appeared at the festival before or have never performed: Leningrad, Aquarium, Lumen, Leap Year, Lead Fog and the main headliner Time Machine, celebrating its 45th anniversary in 2014. The “Invasion” will not do without traditional non-musical entertainment, such as a parade of military equipment. So far, the cheapest entrance tickets cost 1,500 rubles, but their price will increase closer to the festival date.
