Now that the Super Bowl and all the top awards shows are behind us, it’s the moment that music fans have all been waiting for: festival season. Dust off your denim shorts, secure your stadium-approved bags and stack up your coins — because this year’s best music festivals feature some of the most standout lineups we’ve seen in years.
While we love hitting dedicated artist tours (and there are so many great ones coming up!), there’s no better bang for your buck than attending a full festival filled with your favorite artists, all in one place.
