Events
WHOLE United Queer Festival
Ferropolis, Germany · 2026-07-17 to 2026-07-20
Queer camping festival in the Ferropolis “city of iron”; big open-air site that feels spread out; high-end house/techno/rave programming.
Milkshake Festival
Westerpark, Amsterdam, Netherlands · 2026-07-25 to 2026-07-26
Daytime park festival; playful + open-minded; multi-genre but reliably includes house/disco; city-festival convenience.
Body Movements Festival
Southwark Park, London, UK · 8/30/26
Queer/trans day-festival; multiple stages; underground club spectrum (house/tech-house/techno etc.); designed as a “day-party” format rather than a crush.
As One in the Park
Walpole Park (Ealing), London, UK · 7/18/26
Outdoor LGBTQ+ festival with DJs + drag + performance; pride energy more than “label showcase”; still a comfortable park day format.
Anjunadeep Open Air Manchester
Square One at Progress, Manchester, UK · 5/30/26
Closest match to “Anjunadeep Open Air vibe” musically: melodic/deep/progressive house in an open-air showcase format.
Anjunadeep Open Air London
London, UK (venue TBA) · 2026 (summer; date TBA)
Melodic/deep/progressive open-air showcase; uses allocated entry times to reduce bottlenecks/queues.
GALA Festival
Peckham Rye Park, London, UK · 2026-05-22 to 2026-05-24
Curated London park festival (house/UKG/disco/techno); ticketed timed entry approach to manage flow; generally high production.
Amsterdam Open Air
Gaasperpark, Amsterdam, Netherlands · 2026-06-06 to 2026-06-07
Daytime open-air with 10 stages and broad dance spectrum (incl. house); big-city festival ops (typically smoother logistics than mega-camping fests).
909 Festival
The Amsterdamse Bos (Amsterdam Forest), Netherlands · 2026-06-06 to 2026-06-07
Forest setting (more “spread-out” than concrete venues); house/techno leaning; open-air/wooded vibe.
Loveland Festival
Sloterpark, Amsterdam, Netherlands · 2026-08-08 to 2026-08-09
Established open-air city festival; house/techno leaning; multiple stages in a park environment (often feels less “crushed” than arena fests).
Music On Festival
Meerpark, Amsterdam, Netherlands · 2026-05-09 to 2026-05-10
Tech-house heavy; big-name DJs; polished open-air weekend format.
Tropikali Festival
Amsterdam, Netherlands · 6/13/26
Explicitly queer festival merging Balkan/Middle Eastern + Latin pop/electronic; daytime-to-night energy; NOTE: strong “tropical” theme (may read as beachy even though not on a beach).
Pulsår Festival
Gut Wolfgangshof (Zirndorf, near Nuremberg), Germany · 2026-05-29 to 2026-05-30
Two-day house/techno festival with explicit “diversity/equality” positioning; smaller-city scale tends to mean more room and less chaos.
Jackie's
Mallorca · 4/11/25
