Sometimes not. So, what's your fave European concert for summer 2010? (You don't need to sign in to answer -- just fill in your name and start typing). Share a Concert Here!

SKABAZAC FESTIVAL
- The best European music festival for 2010 is definitively the SKABAZAC festival at Onet-le-Château in France! The Line-Up is amazing (CYPRESS HILL, Ska P, Chase & Status live, Lauent Garnier, Emir Kusturica & The No Smoking Orchestra, Hocus Pocus, Féfé, Foreign Beggars, Molecule,...). The festival will take place the 11 and 12. june - a huge camping and parking area is available. It's safe to say that the Skabazac festival is one of the festivals with the most enchanting atmosphere in Europe! For more information: http://www.skabazac.com

Benicassim music festival
- By far the best music festival of the 2009 summer (or at least it promises to be) set on the spanish south coast by the beach. The Benicassim music fest - http://fiberfib.com/ - has long been a favorite but with a line up including Oasis, Kings of Leon, Paul Weller, Franz Ferdinand and The Killers this year makes it a must attend. Only setback is that tickets are long sold out. If you are into Electronic music check the Sonar in Barcelona in second week of June or the very very impressive line-up of Sonica Reloaded near by Rome in August. Don't know the 2009 line-ups for the festivals in Portugal but always a great place to see some wicked acts. some years back you could cruise the country for a month and half with a different festival every week in a different part of the country filled with world class acts.

PINKPOP
- It's Pinkpop in the Netherlands. Just ended... with Bruce Springsteen, Killers, Kooks, Mando Diao, Franz Ferdinand, Placebo, The Rifles, White Lies, the TingTings, Madness... Depeche Mode were supposed to play, too. It's the oldest (and the cleanest, they say) festival in Europe. Very friendly atmosphere, fun people.
