自疫情結束後，臺灣的音樂場景可說百花齊放。數據統計光是一年，臺灣就有超過300餘場音樂祭。不過，當在地市場趨於飽和後，臺灣音樂祭的發展就不僅止於本土，與國際音樂產業的鏈結也日益緊密，無論是邀請外國樂團的比例顯著增加，或是與國外其他知名音樂祭的深度合作，臺灣位處東亞中心，吸引來自中、日、韓、泰、印等多國樂團前來演出，這股國際化的浪潮，讓臺灣的音樂祭不再僅是臺灣樂團的舞台，更是連結世界的重要橋梁。
本篇精選臺灣五個音樂祭：浮現祭／赤聲躁動／搖滾台中、浪人祭 Vagabond Festival、火球祭 FireBall Festival、Organik Festival 有機音樂祭、聲波薩滿－立方論壇音樂祭進行介紹，展現與國際接軌的積極態度與多元面貌。

Since the end of the pandemic, Taiwan’s music scene has experienced a vibrant revival. According to Taiwan media The Reporter’s statistics, over 300 music festivals are held annually across Taiwan. However, as the domestic market approaches saturation, the development of music festivals in Taiwan has extended beyond its borders. Connections with the international music industry have grown increasingly close—whether through a significant increase in foreign acts or deep collaborations with renowned international festivals.
Located at the heart of East Asia, Taiwan now regularly attracts bands from China, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, India, and beyond. This wave of internationalization has positioned Taiwan’s music festivals as key platforms for connecting the local scene with the global stage.
This article highlights five selected music festivals in Taiwan: EMERGE FEST (浮現祭) / Carnival Fever (赤聲躁動音樂祭) / ROCK IN TAICHUNG (搖滾台中), Vagabond Festival (浪人祭), FIREBALL Fest. (火球祭), Organik Festival (有機音樂祭) and Sonic Shaman: TheCube Forum Music Festival (聲波薩滿：立方論壇音樂祭) —each exemplifying Taiwan’s openness and multifaceted engagement with the global music scene.
