2010 will most probably be remembered as one of the hottest summers of this century at least for the Romanian electronic music scene. These are our favourite festival picks for this year. Wicked line ups assorted with some incredibly beautiful venues make these events a must for anyone that wants to break away from the hot city pressure.

On the other side of Romania – in one of it’s most eastern points – lies the small village of Sfantu Gheorghe, where the Danube meets the Black Sea in one of the wildest and most beautiful settings we ever saw. If you’ll ever get there you will understand why we are so ecstatic when we talk about it. It’s the perfect spot for a summer holiday where you can reconnect with nature, out in the wild on deserted beaches. We’re more than glad Delta Music Fest is revived and brings some of the freshest local artists to play. There’s more in the programme than music and cherry on top – the entrance is free!

Open Fest invites you on 30/31 July to spend a quality time in the west of Romania – close to Arad on a wonderful sandy beach at lake Ghioroc. We’re keeping our fingers crossed as this is the first edition and hopefully a lucky start for the promoters. The line up looks promising and brings together both internationally acclaimed artists and local talent.

Somewhere near Bucharest in an enchanted forest is the place where you will find One Love Festival. Another fine example of an event that doesn’t exclusively rely on blingy headliners and aggressive marketing. It’s all about the love of nature, positive vibrations and genuine human interaction that’s somewhat starting to be hard to find in the big cities. Go and find yourself!

GET OUT celebrates it’s second coming and comes with an extended line up this year. It takes place between 5 and 7 August in a fairytale setting close to Targu Mures. Besides a dreamy line up and the wonderful landscape you’ll have plenty to do in this open air setting that lays in the heart of Transylvania and preserves a true mystic vibe.

All aboard!
