The following is a list of music festivals, with recorded dates of the years in which they were held. Some dates are missing. A final column tries to indicate what type of bands were selected to enter or compete and receive prises.

The list is complicated by the fact that events were renamed, metamorphosed, cancelled or expired, restarted, revamped or only happened once; among other things.

A link will indicate that further information is available.

No further explanation is given at this time.
