DJ Mag has a thing for polls. Between its Top 100 DJs and Top 100 Clubs polls, it has the market generally cornered. This year, the publication decided to switch things up a bit, and rather than ask its readers and followers about their favorite festivals, to ask the DJs themselves instead.
Thus the DJ Mag’s Top 50 Festivals 2019 list was conceived. Obviously, the list is still slightly weighted toward DJs who’ve been included in DJ Mag’s lists already, though it says they included “a huge list of others from right across the dance music spectrum — from house to techno, drum & bass to hardstyle — to make sure the list was as comprehensive as possible.” What you get is a list of 50 great festivals straight from the horses mouths; though, to say a DJ’s experience at a festival is comparable to that of anyone attending is a stretch at the very least.
Nevertheless, it’s interesting to look through the list and see where your own favorite festivals rank among the global scale. See below.
