The story

Neon Festival is a two-day music festival occurring on June 4-5, 2027, in Trondheim, Norway. It features a mix of electronic and hip hop music. The event takes place at Bryggeribyen EC Dahls Arena and is aimed at attendees aged 15 and above. This festival does not offer camping, but there are options for hotels and other accommodations nearby.

Neon is a 3-day electronic, hip hop festival at TBA in Riga, Latvia. The August 2027 edition runs 4–6 Aug 2027.

Expect stages split between Electronic and Hip Hop.

Everything happens at TBA, in Riga. Riga is the base for the trip: it is where the affordable beds, the late trains and the after-parties are, and where prices climb fastest as the dates approach.

Neon keeps the same calendar slot each year: August 2027 for this edition, opening on a Wednesday and closing on a Friday. It is a high-summer date, which is peak season for both travel and accommodation across the region. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Riga are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

• Held on June 4-5, 2027
• Location: Bryggeribyen EC Dahls Arena, Trondheim
• Age restriction: 15+
• Focus on electronic and hip hop genres

What the trip costs from Paris

Door to door from Paris, a trip to Neon works out at roughly €1,003 per person on the cheapest combination we track — a higher-budget weekend, mostly because of the travel leg.

The ticket is only 15% of that: the rest is getting there and sleeping somewhere, which is exactly the part most ticket sites leave out.

Cheapest travel we price is air · 5h 52m each way, at €280 return.

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Neon are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
3. 3Reserve 4 nights rather than 3: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4If you fly into Not specified, check the transfer time to Riga before booking the earliest departure — the airport bus is usually the cheapest leg of the whole trip.
5. 5Follow Neon on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.

Travel tips from Paris

• Fly into Not specified, the closest airport to the site.
• Rail arrivals come through Not specified; shuttles usually run from there.
• The site itself is TBA, in Riga.
• Book a bed in Riga early — rooms around a festival sell out before the last ticket tier does.
