Electronic music festivals
Electronic music festivals are known for setting up an upbeat atmosphere and a community feeling. These festivals provide unique sound experiences with powerful sound systems. Electronic music lovers share this common interest, which creates a positive feeling during festivals.
At EFA, we love electronic music. So this time we wanted to share with you some of the festivals featuring this genre.
Beats for Love 2023
05 - 09 Jul 2023 | Ostrava, Czech Republic
Beats for Love is an electronic dance music festival held at the heart of the Industrial National Monument. The surroundings of the Lower Vítkovice area, full of iron scenery, will be filled with plenty of outstanding music and a rich accompanying program for four days. This creates a unique atmosphere full of fun and enjoyment.
In 2013, a giant heart was introduced for the first time, which became a symbol not only of the first year of the BEATS FOR LOVE festival, but the festival remained with its updated version up until today! Over the years, the festival has become more and more popular - not only because of the ticket price, the number of stages and the unique scenery but also because of the unique approach to visitors and its charitable overlap. It has become an integral part of this magnificent project, which not only brings the best artists from all over the world to Ostrava every year, but also helps people in need from the Moravian-Silesian region through their charitable activities.

CLASSICAL BEAT Festival “Nordic Sounds”
21 - 30 Jul 2023 | Lübeck, Germany
The festival aims to combine classical and contemporary music from around the world.
This year, the seventh edition of the CLASSICAL BEAT Festival presents a top-class crossover with international artists between 21 and 30 July. Under the motto "Nordic Sounds", the diversity of Nordic music from Scandinavia and Finland will be combined with European classical music.
With the slogan "Classical Music at the Pulse of Time", the festival will bring classical music into the spirit of today and combine traditional with modern and electronic influences.
The interesting point of this festival is that many performances don’t take place in an actual performance hall but in unusual locations such as at the X-ARTS in the 360° Infinity Dome or others that you can find here.
