Budget festival trip: 3 European festivals in 2 weeks

Planning a multi-festival trip this summer and trying to keep costs down. Current route: Primavera Sound (Barcelona) → Roskilde (Denmark) → some wildcard TBD Has anyone done a multi-festival European trip? Looking for tips on: - Cheap transport between festivals (trains? budget flights?) - Accommodation outside the festival (hostels vs camping) - How to not completely destroy your body doing back-to-back festivals Budget target: under €2,000 for 2 weeks including tickets.

Did Barcelona → Berlin → Copenhagen in 2023. FlixBus between cities is absurdly cheap if you book early. Also, hostels near festival sites fill up fast — book NOW. Body recovery tip: schedule a full rest day between festivals. No sightseeing, no partying. Just sleep, food, and a long shower. You'll thank yourself.

€2k for 2 weeks is tight but doable. The tickets will eat about half that. For the wildcard: check out EXIT festival in Serbia — tickets are like €100 and the production value is insane for the price.

Ryanair/Wizzair for cheap flights but watch out for luggage fees — sometimes the bus is actually cheaper when you factor in bags + tent + camping gear. Use Google Flights flexible dates to find the sweet spot.
