European festivals have skyrocketed in popularity in recent years, and Busabout festivals allow you to fast track your way into the biggest and best festivals and see some new sights while you’re there.
Over the last decade, music festivals especially have attracted millions of young travellers from all corners of the globe, and it’s truly epic and can be a wild few days.
But Busabout festivals aren’t just about getting loose (although that’s a big part of it), you’ll also explore local areas through free city orientation walks and optional trips to local landmarks.
A word of warning though – many of these Busabout festivals sell out in minutes. So get your squad together and start planning the ultimate European festival tour with Busabout!

Oktoberfest
Oktoberfest is the world’s largest beer festival with more than six million attendees, and over 7 million litres of golden goodness served in giant steins 🍻
It’s one of the world’s biggest parties, and Busabout has two epic Oktoberfest tours to this bavarian batshit crazy festival.
Both trips have the same inclusions, but as the name suggests, one is staying in tents and the other in hostels. Busabout’s Oktoberfest camping tour starts from $399 (£229), and their Oktoberfest hostel tour starts from $789 (£439).

Tomorrowland
Tomorrowland is an insanely popular electronic dance music festival and a popular Busabout festival which sells out in minutes.
And with superstar artists such as Armin van Buuren, David Guetta, Martin Garrix, ASAP Rocky, Jonas Blue and many more hitting the stage, it’s no wonder the Tomorrowland festival has become so huge.
And guess what? Busabout is an official travel partner of Tomorrowland 🙌
Busabout runs a wicked (albeit pricey $3,239/£1,799) 5-day tour exploring France, Belgium & the Netherlands with a Full Madness Tomorrowland Pass and loads of other perks included.
La Tomatina
La Tomatina is undoubtedly one of the messiest Busabout festivals.
Every year on the last Wednesday of August, tens of thousands of people take part in an insane food fight involving over one hundred metric tons of tomatoes being pelted at any moving object on the streets of Buñol 🍅
It’s total vegan-friendly chaos.
And to get you amongst the juicy action of La Tomatina, there’s a Busabout festival tour starting from $599 (£329).
The Busabout La Tomatina 3-day hotel tour includes your accommodation, breakfasts, transfers plus entrance into the tomato fight & the official after-party.
