Is there a better feeling than hopping on a plane with your mates to a music festival in the sun?
Yes, we know, we're spoiled for choice when it comes to music festivals here in Ireland, but we're not exactly guaranteed a rain-free weekend.
So why not pack light this summer and head to some of these sellar European fests that we've assembled with a little help from its4women.ie
What? NOS Alive
Where? Lisbon, Portugal
The line-up so far: Kendrick, Taylor, Billie Ellish, Caribou.
Why? Unlike a lot of southern European festivals, there's camping! Plus, you're a ten-minute train ride to the centre of gorgeous Lisbon.

What? Mad Cool
Where? Madrid Spain
The line-up so far: Faith No More, The Killers, Anderson Paak, Alt-J, Wolf Alice

What? Hurricane Festival
