Primavera Sound, Barcelona, Spain

The connoisseur's line-up — indie royalty, techno, and next year's obsessions on one seafront site — with a civilised twist: no camping. You sleep in a real Barcelona bed, spend days on the beach or in the Gothic Quarter, then head to the Parc del Fòrum around 6pm because nothing important starts before then. Sets run until dawn. Book accommodation the day tickets land; early June rooms vanish embarrassingly fast.
