The current schedule of major music events is 2022. It will be hot!
It’s time to think about buying tickets and interesting trips to other cities.
Music is what helps to cope with depression, dilute the stuffy atmosphere in the room, motivate you to new achievements, or just spend an evening comfortably at home by the fireplace. Music festivals are generally a separate type of leisure. You could even say a way to travel and explore the world.

Take a look, you will definitely find useful and interesting positions for yourself, or maybe plan new trips.
