Europe

412 festivals across 30 countries. The countries TREACLE covers first (Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Hungary), then the rest of the continent. Most 2027 dates are announced between September and January; where a festival has only said the month, the note says so. Dates set means the next edition has announced dates; Usual timing means we show the usual timing and it is not yet confirmed, or the festival is paused.
