Every month, an almost countless amount of festivals take place across the globe—a good helping of which are electronically inclined, too. With world travel also increasing at an exponential rate, it has never been easier, or cheaper, to jump on a plane to see one of your favorite artists intoxicate a dancefloor, beach, concert hall, or abandoned theme park. Sifting through the endless list of options, however, only gets harder with every lineup drop or teaser video; so, to make things a little easier, we’ve compiled a list of our top festival picks from around the globe in March.

Days Like This Festival—March 10, Victoria Park, Australia

Elevate Festival—February 23 to March 4, Graz, Austria

The 14th festival edition of Elevate Festival is already underway, having started today and running to March 4 in Graz, Austria. This annual festival for contemporary music, arts and and political discourse will focus on two fundamental terms of the modern age: risk and courage. The 2018 music portion boasts a number of pioneers and trailblazers: John Maus, the existential philosopher among synth-poppers, will be presenting his long-awaited fourth album Screen Memories after a six-year hiatus. Hailing from the United States, ghetto house pioneer DJ Deeon will be bringing the raw, sample-heavy Chicago tracks with which he propitiated house and hip-hop culture on the Dancemania label back in the ’90s. Also on their first Austria visit will be Mike Servito as well as Emma Olson (a.k.a Umfang). In a new addition in 2018, Ben Frost and MFO will be playing the Orpheum, performing with a corresponding A/V live show. Meanwhile, an entirely new location will be inaugurated by the multi-instrumentalist Peter Broderick. Check out the list of confirmed speakers, too—a fascinating point of interest.
