SuncéBeat Festival Croatia 2019: Is your life missing something? Is EDM really enough? If not, here’s a festival in the sun (as the name suggests) from 24 thru 21 July offering more musically. Not just underground House, Disco, and Techno, but Soul, R&B and Funk. All we can say is, “Turn that Beat Around.” Not many t…>

This is an intimate, boutique festival in a medieval Sicilian mountain village. Which sounds sooo cool right off the bat. From 8 thru 11 August, Castelbuono becomes a multi-stage destination for music and art lovers. So far, the only musical act announced is The National from our unofficial hometown of Cincinnati. Tick…>

The Dutch aren’t waiting around for everyone else to catch them. The Dutch government, along with Dutch energy companies Enexis and Nuon, as well as Groningen University and other sponsors, has organized what they’re billing as “the world’s largest AI and blockchain hackathon.” There will be 20 tracks, 100 teams and…>

This is the second year for Instytut Festival and we don’t know that much about it. But the concept is cool – a techno party at a humongous 19th-century fortress (check out the vid above) 50 kilometers outside Warsaw, and overlooking the confluence of two rivers. What’s not to like?

Now, throw in top acts such…>

As much as we love EDM, this is a yearly (and welcome) break from all the dubstep and deep trance. Acoustic music in the Alpes. Sort of like a contemporary “The Sound of Music,.”

This year, Zermatt Unplugged has Michael Kiwanuka, and oh yeah, we’re promoting him as a personal favorite. There’s also Boy George…>

elrow Town 2019 in Antwerp: This is a few days of partying and camping in Antwerp, with the main day of music 6 July. This is put on by the family who owns the Elrow club in Barcelona, and who puts on shows around the world from Las Vegas to, well, Antwerp. Most of the details aren’t final yet including the lineup.

But we know this:

Okay, let’s have a word-association moment. When we say, “Sardinia,” what are the first words that pops into your head?

Wow, right!!! “Acid Punk.”

Duh.

Acid Punk Royale comes up late this summer 30 August thru 1 September – in Cagliari, Sardinia. This event bills itself as “the king of Techno festivals,” p…>

We heard about Hibernation a couple of years ago, then we missed it last year. This year, Hibernation is back on our list. Techno and skiing in the Pyrenees of Andorra. And as we noted back in 2016, now you have an excuse to go to Andorra.

This festival is at Grandvalira, a resort 2000 meters in the mountains, so…>

One of the final summer mega-parties in Croatia. Ten stages, 300 acts. You get the idea. Outlook runs for a week, from 4 thru 9 September at Fort Punta Christo. Acts include Chase & Status, Bugzy Malone, Goldie (live) and Ghetts, Tickets start at 120 pounds and you can get them here. Outlook is the sister festival…>

Dimensions Festival is 28 August to 1 September at Fort Punta Christo. We just got the list of artists and they include Nina Kraviz (the woman at every festival), Jeff Mills/Tony Allen and Objekt. This is an interesting festival in that it covers multiple genres from house, electro and techno to acid, DnB, ambient and…>

This isn’t an event per se. Spring Break for uni students in Europe typically is in late April to May. (Universities here don’t have the same semester schedules as their counterparts in the States.)

Multiple companies offer package trips to this Spanish island designed for college students, so this is an aff…>

Ahhh, June in Paris, when hearts turn to love, romance and B2B software as a service in the City of Lights.

Come on … who doesn’t love Saas, right? And we’ve decided to pretty much just list every event in Paris because we like going there.

This is the second year for SaasStr, which started in San Franc…>

INDUSTRY, 15 THRU 17 APRIL IN DUBLIN
Dublin is the Tech Center of the World right now and Brexit will only strengthen its position. This conference is basically for software development managers, and as we know, software is eating the world. During three days, about 400 software geeks from more than 30 countries…>
