I went to Coachella for my bachelor party in 2012. It was awesome, and created memories I still carry around a decade later.
Now that I’m older, Bottlerock out of Napa is great. But what other music festivals in the world are pretty epic?
To identify the best music festivals in the world, I asked the community at Terkel about their experiences. Here’s what they had to say.

Austin City Limits Music Festival 2018
I had the pleasure of attending the Austin City Limits (ACL) Music Festival in 2018. It was an epic experience, as I saw some of my favorite artists perform and explore the unique city of Austin.
The atmosphere around the festival grounds was incredibly positive, with people coming from all over to celebrate music together. The lineup for the festival was incredibly diverse, ranging from rock to rap, pop to EDM.
The Austin City Limits Music Festival was the best festival I've ever been to, and it's definitely a must-see for any music lover.

Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival 2015
I went to Bonnaroo in 2015, and it was a life-changing experience. It was an amazing four days filled with incredible music, art installations, and a vibrant atmosphere that made you feel you were part of something special.
The lineup of artists was impressive, from Paul McCartney to Kendrick Lamar. The camping experience was also outstanding, and the festival grounds had something for everyone. It was an unforgettable experience that I'll never forget.

Coke Live Music Festival 2009
The best music festival I've ever been to was the Coke Live Music Festival in 2009. I can't name just one reason I find it so amazing. The magic of the moment is usually a combination of many factors, which was exactly the case.
Listening to the Killers and their mind-blowing "Mr. Brightside" live, having a drink in hand, with my beloved ones around, I felt amazing. As a twenty-year-old back then, I was carefree, wild, and hungry for adrenaline.
Coke Live Music Festival gave me a thrill. It was the first event I'd gone to, and now, 14 years later, I still recall those special days, smiling at my memories. The Killers were the cherry on top, but other artists also gave terrific performances. I enjoyed each concert I saw and every moment I spent there.

Ultra Music Festival in 2017
I attended the Ultra Music Festival in 2017 in Miami, and it was an amazing experience! They packed the lineup with amazing artists, from EDM stars Kygo and Zedd to rap icons Future and A$AP Rocky.
The energy of the crowd was absolutely electric, and there was a great vibe from both the performers and the audience. Also, the venue was absolutely stunning, with its giant LED screens, larger-than-life stage setups, and pyrotechnics.
On top of the music and atmosphere, there were also a ton of interactive activities, like free yoga classes and art installations. Even when the festival was over, the after-parties kept the party going. It was an incredibly fun experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get the full festival experience.
