After the excitement of the Super Bowl and award shows has passed, it’s finally time for the moment we, as music enthusiasts, have eagerly anticipated: festival season! Time to shake off the dust from those denim shorts, ensure your bags are compliant with stadium regulations, and start saving up – this year’s music festivals boast some of the most impressive lineups in memory.

Instead of focusing on individual artist tours that we enjoy immensely (with plenty more exciting ones on the horizon!), nothing beats the value you get from attending a complete festival where all your preferred artists are gathered together in one location.

This summer promises an array of exciting music festivals: Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, where Lady Gaga, Green Day, and Post Malone will ignite the stage; EDC (Electric Dance Music) in Las Vegas, featuring Afrojack, Kaskade, RL Grime, and more; New York’s Gov Ball, hosting Tyler, the Creator and Olivia Rodrigo; and Stagecoach Country Music Festival, complete with a Wrangler partnership. These shows are not to be missed!
