If you want to go to a festival that’s sunny rather than muddy, SXM might be the one for you.

A far cry from the muddy fields of Glastonbury, the Caribbean island of St. Martin enjoys sunshine and warm temperatures all year long. Fans of electronic music will be impressed by the line-up too, with Psychemagik, Dubfire and Jamie Jones all on the bill.

 

In fact, the focus of the festival is electronic music, but it’s not the kind of stadium gig where you find yourself 900 feet from the stage. SXMusic prides itself on intimacy, with small crowds that hang out on the beach and truly enjoy themselves. The atmosphere is also boosted by the fact top-name DJs are encouraged to hang around after sets, partying with the crowd and adding that extra touch of magic to proceedings.

For those sick of paying hundreds of dollars to see DJs that don’t give anything back to the crowd, SXMusic offers a completely different experience. And you get to hang out on a Caribbean beach to boot.

 

SXMusic will run from March 15–19, and five-day tickets cost €150. More information on travel and hotel partners can be found at the website.
