Going strong since 1980, this festival offers yet another reason to visit the dynamic island-city of Montréal. With a solid mixture of free and paid performances spread over 10 days, and 150 indoor performances, this is considered the world’s largest jazz festival by Guinness World Records.
Number of attendees: 2 million
Where: Montréal
When: 2020 dates TBA (2019 event was held July 6-27)
Fun fact: 60,000 liters of beer and 2,500 kilograms of fries are reportedly consumed at the festival each year.

Featuring a diverse mix of both global and regional acts, Mawazine was started by the personal secretary to the King of Morocco as part of a cultural initiative to promote Rabat as a global city. The week-long music festival, which features an eclectic mix of genres, has succeeded in putting the metropolis on the map.
This year’s lineup includes David Guetta, Future, J Balvin, Marshmello, Maluma and Kamasi Washington.
Number of attendees: 2.5 million
Where: Rabat
When: June 21-29, 2019
Fun fact: Actually, this fact isn’t fun at all; in 2009, a wire fence collapsed, causing a stampede as concert-goers tried to flee. In the end, 11 people were killed.

Also called the “Danube Island Festival,” Donauinselfest is the world’s biggest music festival. It takes place annually in Vienna, on an island in the middle of the River Danube. Train, Macy Gray, Amy MacDonald and Sean Paul are just a handful of the A-listers who have graced its stages. This year’s lineup includes Tocotronic, HUGEL, The Tiger Lillies, Joris, Seiler und Speer and Wolfgang Ambros.
The best part (and a big reason why it’s so wildly popular)? The festival is free.
Number of attendees: 3 million
Where: Vienna
When: June 21-23, 2019
Fun fact: It was clear this festival would be a hit from its very first year. When it was initially held in 1983, organizers expected it to attract about 15,000 attendees. Instead, 160,000 people showed up!

Don't nobody wants go to no festival filled with dirty white boys and the pig looking chicks that like em.

Waste of time putting that shit in any real list of festivals that actually has hot women and people who live on their own, rather than moms basement.

Biggest on the planet.

Movement Detroit deserved to be on that list. Attendance ain't like it was the first few years when it was still DEMF and hittin' over a million people, but considering it's pulling in over 100K in attendance numbers it should have been on this list.

I want to attend one of these but at the same time not be a victim of terrorism or a lone shooter

I know London had at least a million black people from all over. Shit was off the chain.
I can honestly say ...it was one of the top moments in my life.

I had so much fun and couldn't hear for two days.
