Music explosion for your ears

Summer is right around the corner, isn’t it? Well, maybe not right around, but it’s coming with all force and it’s just a couple of months away (4 months to be exact!). Summer is the season of the year when everything is peaceful, colorful, beautiful, positive, warm and exciting. You can feel the fresh wind in your hair, you can feel the warmness of the setting sun on your skin, you can take pretty pictures during the golden hour and you can enjoy long bright nights with friends drinking beer at the park. However, the best thing about summer it’s that is the time of escaping from the reality of your daily life and dive into complete fun.

After daydreaming for months on end about sipping a cold (or tepid, we’re not fussy) drink in the hot sun to our favorite bands, it’s great news that some European festivals are finally planning to welcome concert-goers as the weather warms up and the best part is that they are Covid-friendly!
