BERLIN & MUNICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Summer has finally arrived in Germany and with it, the festival season. JUKE the cloud-based streaming music service featuring a catalogue of over 20 million tracks, has partnered with the sold-out splash!, Melt! and Berlin Festivals, three of the largest and best-known open-air music events in Europe. JUKE is looking for their very own Festival Reporters to report live from these events as “all-access” VIPs. In addition to the JUKE festival reporters, JUKE will raffle off additional tickets to the festivals for its subscribers.
The festivals – splash!, Melt! and Berlin Festival
The JUKE festival summer starts with the already sold-out splash! festival, which is being held from July 12- 14, in Gräfenhainichen near Dessau. Top-class artists like Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Casper, John Legend, Marteria and A Tribe Called Quest will supply the beats for the first big party of the JUKE festival summer.
A week later, from July 19 -21, the party continues at the same venue with the Melt! Festival. While splash! focuses primarily on hip-hop and rap, this festival offers the finest electro and indie music – with Babyshambles, MS MR, Wankelmut, Anja Schneider, Mark Ronson and Shinedoe providing top-notch sounds.
The JUKE festival summer will come to a close in Berlin, Germany's capital, where leading artists like Blur, Björk, the Pet Shop Boys, Ellen Goulding and Fritz Kalkbrenner will perform during the Berlin Festival, being held September 6th and 7th at the former Tempelhof airport.

JUKE is looking for festival reporters for splash!, Melt! and the Berlin Festival. With the support of a top-notch jury, JUKE will be selecting three festival reporters from the applications submitted.
