List of electronic music festivals
Many of the festivals in this list take place in the United States and Europe, though every year thousands of electronic-focused music festivals are held throughout the world.The use of live electronic music greatly expanded in the 1950s, along with the use of electric guitar and bass.There has been a significant change in the capabilities of amplifiers, sequencers, and mixing synthesizers since 1980, as well as computers and digital audio workstations.This has given electronic musicians and DJs the ability to mix elaborate and complicated music in forms such as techno, electronica, trance, house or industrial, all of which have large festivals, raves, technoparades, algoraves, doofs, or teknivals in their sole dedication.The following year, Nature One was relocated to the site of the former Pydna missile base, where it still takes place today.
