【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
Rock and roll and Paris aren’t typical partners but Rock en Seine puts them together with excitement. As this is a great event where there’s even an art exhibition. All this plus wonderful views of the Parisian skyline (地平线) and Marie Antoinette’s rose garden.
