We have lots of music festivals. Pretty much the greatest thing that's ever existed in this world.
Come to our Wakarusa, Counterpoint, Bonaroo, Electric Forest, Coachella, Lollapalooza, or Identity festivals and prepare to lose your mind for about 3 days

The biggest one is Roskilde Festival, which is massive. 80000 guests attend the festival. I've been there for four years straight, and definitely going there next year as well.
Pic related, it was the lineup this year

Open'er And Off Festival
Both are pretty popular
I've even met people from Australia which is weird, because plane tickets cost more than the entry ticket itself.

I didn't see King Diamond or Mercyful Fate listed, shouldn't one or the other be the main headliner? That and a Lars Ulrich spoken word performance about all the monies he has.

Also, fun fact: There were so many Australians attending the festival in 2009 that the Australian embassy in Denmark had a camping wagon at the festival ground

Have you actually been to Tamsta Muzika at least once?
I agree with you on Tundra, but Tamsta is nothing like that.

Les fetes de Bayonne. Hardcore Basque celebrations that take place in Bayonne every years.
One week with everyone dressed in white and red, with over-crowded streets and everyone binge drinking.
Rapes and murders take place every years.
The streets smell like piss days after the end of the celebrations.

Yup, we have Pinkpop and Lowlands as the two biggest music festivals here. They are mostly pop/rock. There are also some small metal festivals (e.g. Fortarock), large dancefestivals (Mysteryland, Amsterdam Dance Event) or other music styles (e.g.North Sea Jazz)
I know a lot of dutchies who go across the border for other festivals. Pinkpop and Lowlands are usually sold out in an hour and fully packed, so we go to Rock Werchter, Graspop or Pukkelpop in Belgium or Rock am Ring, Wacken or Rock im Park in Germany.
Last two years I went to Sziget, Budapest. Amazing festival, atmosphere, everything. It's getting more and more popular in Holland with almost more Dutch people than Hungarian people which is actually quite annoying, but oh well.

Eyjar festival.
Takes place on an island, with tent camps with lots of drinking and music. thats the biggest with around 15k people.
There are few others as well, also tent-based like the Best festival and Eistnaflug metal fest.
