Fringe first
Fringe festivals often have cheaper prices, new acts and denser schedules than the main arts festivals. Edinburgh and Adelaide are the obvious giants, but many smaller cities now have strong fringe scenes.

Music breadth
Search pop, EDM, techno, house, rap, classical, jazz, world music, folk and local scenes. Big names sell fast; smaller festivals can be better value and less exhausting.
Tickets and links
Official sites first, then major platforms such as Live Nation, Ticketmaster, Eventim and local ticket agencies. Watch cancellation risk where festivals over-expand or costs rise.
