Here's how you can combine a holiday with a music festival abroad

WE Irish know how to put on a music festival, and this year sees the return of our favourites, from city runs like Live at the Marquee to the annual highlight of Electric Picnic. 

But, with hedonism the name of the game, we peek further afield to see what the continent has to offer.

After all, the pick’n’mix assortment of line-ups could come closer to our dream bill, there’s near-guaranteed sun, and it’s a commendable use of precious annual leave, combining the extravagance of festivals with the chilled ‘vacay’ time.
