September and October 2026: two months in which it is truly possible to travel around the world thanks to festivals putting electronic music centre stage: the journey starts as far away as New Zealand and reaches Greece, taking in Belgium, Japan, Italy, Morocco, the United States, South Korea, Egypt and the Netherlands along the way.
As always, there is plenty to choose from, as demonstrated by our latest selection of ten + one festivals.
