July is known around the world as one of the busiest periods for concerts and music festivals, bringing long summer nights, great weather and a variety of outdoor events.
Major music festivals
July is a great time for music festivals, which take place in a wide range of venues from big cities to small villages. Festivals can last several days and cover a wide range of music genres, from rock, electronic music and jazz to folk and classical music.
Outdoor concerts
Outdoor concerts are a feature of July, allowing you to enjoy music surrounded by nature. These can be free performances in city parks, concerts by the sea or lakeside, or unique performances in historic places.
Street music
In July, street musicians enliven the streets of cities and resorts. It's a great opportunity to discover new talent and enjoy live music while walking around the city.
Club and bar music nights
While there is a strong focus on outdoor events, clubs and bars also organise a wide range of concerts and musical evenings. These can include themed nights, live music performances and DJ sets.
Events in cultural institutions
Museums, cultural centres and other institutions often organise special musical evenings linked to exhibitions or cultural projects. These can be classical music concerts, literary and music evenings or experimental music performances.
