Donauinselfest (Danube Island Festival) in Vienna, Austria, is often cited as the world's largest music festival by attendance, drawing over 3 million visitors across three days each year with free admission. Among ticketed festivals, Glastonbury in England is one of the largest, hosting around 210,000 people on Worthy Farm in Somerset. Summerfest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, also claims the title of the world's largest music festival, running for 11 days with over 800,000 attendees annually.
Fyre Festival was a fraudulent luxury music festival promoted by entrepreneur Billy McFarland and rapper Ja Rule. Marketed as an exclusive event on a private island in the Bahamas with top musical acts and gourmet dining, attendees who paid thousands of dollars arrived in April 2017 to find disaster relief tents, soggy mattresses, and cheese sandwiches instead of the promised luxury villas and catered meals. No musical acts performed, luggage was dumped from shipping containers, and guests were stranded. McFarland was convicted of wire fraud and sentenced to six years in federal prison.
The original Woodstock Music and Art Fair took place from August 15 to 18, 1969, on Max Yasgur's dairy farm in Bethel, New York — about 70 miles from the town of Woodstock. Billed as "Three Days of Peace and Music," the festival attracted an estimated 400,000 people and featured legendary performances by Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Who, Santana, and many others. Despite logistical chaos, food shortages, and heavy rain that turned the grounds to mud, the event became a defining moment of the 1960s counterculture movement.
