I just returned from spending nearly the entire summer in Europe and had a chance to hit a few music festivals so I'll drop a little insight on the few for those interested.
Secret Garden Party (outside London, UK):
http://www.secretgardenparty.com/#!/home/
This is in the sticks outside London and I only went because I was flying through London at the time and a couple friends of mine were going and said it would be fun, which is was, just not really for finding chicks.
Everyone camps here as its in the middle of nowhere and there is nowhere else to stay. Not my scene in general, but I can adapt and made the most of it for the few days. The scene here is lots of drugs (ecstasy, MDMA, weed, cocaine, ketamine, to name the main culprits) and music with a major hipster vibe to it. There were some chicks here to be found, but they were few and far between when looking for quality.
The move here is to have your own tent, stay up late, and hold lots of drugs as bait. Its the UK, so the weather is always an issue and dumped on us one evening only. Had fun, but wont be going back.
Terraneo Festival (Sibenik, Croatia)
http://www.secretgardenparty.com/#!/home/
This event sells day passes which are cheap so if you are in the area and you want to see an artist go for it. I was a couple hours away by bus and got word only a week before about it that Wu-Tang was performing there, enough said. As a bonus Aloe Blacc also on the same stage before them. Made my way up there and had a great time for a couple reasons:
1) Wu killed it
2) Banged a hot, tall and leggy, 18yo Croatian chick.
The scene here was mostly young music fans drinking cheaply and smoking weed. Not a hard drug scene at all. I easily got high there by quickly befriending some young local kids who had more weed than I could have wanted and in return I bought them a few beers which were only 1.50 euros.
Ticket was only 30 euros for the one day and the music goes all night until about 6AM.
After the Wu show I was dripping sweat from throwing kids around in the mosh pit and was feeling REAL good. Don't even remember exactly how I met this pretty young thing but next thing I know we are hitting it off and she is telling me how she has a boyfriend, but has cheated on him twice but "now she is good". I told her, "she's going to have to wait until tomorrow for that" and she laughed. I knew I had a good shot then. Funny thing was we only briefly made out in some far off corner and she didn't want to show any affection in public due to her having a bf. Understandable. She was calculated though. It was almost 6AM when I tried to get her back to my place and she had to be home wherever she was staying by 7AM to not create any ripples. Friends didn't cockblock her at all, and she simply asked me "Is an hour going to be enough?" No need to let you guys know what I said to that.
Went back to my place and had a great hour with this 18yo who was wise beyond her years in her head, but still somewhat of a novice in bed, understandably. It was great sex actually, I could just tell she hasn't done it much. I might have to stop by Zagreb when I have a chance and pay her a visit.
Beer Fest (Belgrade, Serbia)
http://www.belgradebeerfest.com/
While this is called "Beer Fest", its definitely a mix of music as well, with many people coming to see these mostly Serbian bands perform. I'm guessing there were 20,000 young people at this massive event which is completely
free, except for the beer, which was cheap as hell at 1-2 euros. With that being said, of course tons of Belgrade chicks within that lot. This was a mix of social circles and also girls running around in small packs of 2-3 open to meeting guys.
I had a Canadian friend of mine with me for this one night, and then another American friend also another night. I did better when we were 3 people, as we created our own little environment which attracted both girls and guys to us at certain points. I pulled a lot of #'s from this including one stunner who with only a couple days left couldn't coordinate another meeting with unfortunately.
I did get one of the other girls out for a coffee date as she didn't drink. 19yo, very sweet, innocent and feminine. Went for a walk in the park and hooked up but she wouldn't come back to my place and I had to leave the next day.
Overall, this is a fun event which is cheap as hell and brings out the entire city seemingly. The best move I thought was to hang out in the different beer sponsored tents which were basically set up as lounges and was a slightly higher end scene. A couple pics from above..

I would go back to this event, but I kinda suspect that if it were the first week in September it would be better as the whole city would be back from the coast. The city felt really dead during the day, and I think this was why.
These weren't any of the mega festivals such as Tomorrowland or Sziget, but nevertheless hopefully someone gets some use out of it.
