Top Music Festivals Around the World

I have always been fascinated with music festivals, yet I haven't been to any. There are a plethora of music festivals around my area such as the CMT Music Fest, which was a huge country festival in Oro Medonte. It featured acts such as Blake Shelton, Lady Antebellum, and many other amazing country artists. Warped Tour and Edgefest, which are more of a one day event featuring punk rock, pop rock, and many other types of performers. Here is a list I compiled (in no particular order)of the craziest, wildest, most outlandish and amazing music festivals around the world.
