From high up in the Japanese mountains to a 16th century Norviliskes Castle, music festivals have cropped up in some fascinating and little-known locations over the past several years. Whether you’re an electronic music aficionado, traveling with a kid onboard or itching to get a taste of unique global culture, these six festivals offer a bit of something for everyone not found at your average corporate-sponsored event. Open your eyes, your ears and your minds to what they have in store.
