Question

【题目】This summer’s top four European music festivals

LONDON

LOVEBOX

Where: Victoria Park

When: July 15-16

No other country does a festival like the British and few festivals are as fun as Lovebox in Hackney’s Victoria Park. Dancing, disco balls, and more dancing. Don’t miss local acts Stormzy, Kano and Katy B who represent our homegrown talent. Good food is at the heart of Lovebox: go on an empty stomach to taste pizza from Voodoo Ray’s, hamburgers from Le Bun and cheese sandwiches from The Cheese Truck.

BUDAPEST

SZIGET

Where: Obudai-sziget

When: 10-17 August

On an island in the middle of the Danube is one of Europe’s most atmospheric festivals. 40,000 people crowd into 266-acres（英亩）of woodland for a week-long party. This year’s big-name acts will hold you there all day or you could check out the riverside beach, or the artworks there.

PARIS

ROCK EN SEINE

Where: Domaine National de Saint-Cloud

When: August 26-28
