Hop on a plane and join some of the most exciting events of the year that are being held all around the world – from Burning Man in Nevada, US, to Sam Smith’s The Thrill Of It All tour to Singapore, and 10 more

1. Burning Man

 

When: August 26 - September 4

Where: Black Rock Desert, Nevada, US

Every year, thousands of people come together for this radical festival to create Black Rock City out of art installations, only to tear it all down at the end (it’s part of its “leaving no trace” practice). If you need an introduction to Burning Man’s aesthetics, think Mad Max. This year’s theme is I, Robot, so art installations will focus on artificial intelligence.

2. Fashion month

 

When: September 6 - October 2

Where: New York City, London, Milan, and Paris

Look out for upcoming spring 2019 trends on the runway, and the season’s latest looks on the streets. Even if you don’t get into the shows, you can catch the fashion crowd rush in the four key fashion week cities: New York (September 6-12), London (September 14-18), Milan (September 19-24) and Paris (September 24 - October 2). If your style is on point, you may even get stopped by a street style photographer.
