Euro fests

After going to Rockness this year im thinking of going abroad to another festival similar to Rockness. Ive been to Creamfields in Spain which was an experience and im wanting something similar.

Anyone got any suggestions? Where you have been before?

Ive looked at "I love techno" and "Hideout".

Monegros Desert Festival in Spain is really good - about 30 miles from Salou.

Also, Timewarp in Mannheim....but that's on Saturday so you might be a bit pushed trying to sort that out

Been to both I Love Techno and Timewarp, i'd recommend both but the ILT ineup has progressivly got worse year on year, they only have 1 dedicated techno room these days! Wouldnt really class either as a festival though.

Timewarp is always a strong lineup and Hawtin and vath always play 5 hour+ sets. On the downside Mannaheim is a bit of a dump.

You'll get flights to both from Prestwick with ryanair, we flown to Frankfurt Hahn airport and booked a transfer to mannaheim, it was about a 90 minute drive. For ILT we stayed in brussels on the Friday and headed to Ghent by Train on the day of the event, then it was straight to the airport

Monegros and Awakenings are on my European 'to do' list, both have consistantly amazing lineups.

Melt! festival in Germany always has an incredible line-up. Roughly same size as RN, and sited in an open air museum. The place come alive with lights at night and is stunning, easily best festival I've been to. Melt! is the festival RN should inspire to be like.

Friendly flights from uk to Berlin and an hours train journey to just outside Leipzig.

A must do festival at some point in your life. It's number 3 for me this year!

My mates went to exit festival last year, tickets are cheap and the flights were also cheap also its roughly £15 for 12 beer tokens. The food is also cheap. They said it was a fantastic festival, Main dance stage goes from 8/9pm until 7/8am.

Melt, Exit and Sziget are all on my to do list over the next couple of years.

Benicassim - I went in 2008, and remains as one of my best festival experiences ever. Think I might head to Sziget or Exit this year!

Only one I've done is Lowlands in 2008.. brilliant festival though bit pricier now due to state of the Euro.

Probably try one next year with Glast being off, maybe Sziget or Exit.
