With over 100 acts performed across six stages, expect shows from names including Kendrick Lamar, Florence + the Machine, The Black Keys, Nas, Interpol and Caribou.

A newcomer to the music festival scene, Zürich Openair is due for its fifth edition this summer. With past acts including The Killers, Arctic Monkeys and The xx, the festival delivers an unforgettable experience to all of its 75,000 visitors over the four-day period. Combining both legends and emerging artists within rock, indie and electro, 2015 welcomes Bastille, Fatboy Slim and The Libertines to the stage. It takes place in a vast 95,000 square-metre patch of grass in Rümlang near Zürich Airport, and has just the right balance of atmosphere and music to ease in festival newbies gently.

Named after the longest-running PBS concert series, the ACL Music Festival takes place in the award-winning concert venue in Zilker Park. Covering rock, country, folk, indie, Americana, hip-hop and reggae, the festival occurs during the extreme tail end of summer. What this means is a more chilled-out crowd, cooler temperatures and an all-round pleasurable festival experience. Despite its more low-key reputation, make no mistake that 2015’s line-up is set to be as epic as ever with performances by Drake, Foo Fighters, The Weeknd and Chance The Rapper. It’s even chilled-out enough to bring the little ones to, with local eats, free kid-friendly activities and plenty of green grass for all.
