As the sun rose above Zilker Park for day two of Austin City Limits, so did the temperature, with day two shaping up to be one of the hottest in recent memory from an early hour. However, the sweltering Texas sun did little to deter fans, who rushed to the barricades as soon as the gates opened, eager to be part of the festivities.

As 2024 comes to a close, Decadence Arizona: Age of Indulgence gears up for a milestone celebration with its biggest lineup yet, including an electrifying New Year’s Eve countdown set from none other than John Summit, one of the year’s most talked-about acts.

The chill is setting in, and the world’s iciest festival is back to turn up the heat: Igloofest Montreal returns from January 16 to February 8, 2025, in the heart of the Old Port, with an untamed lineup that’ll unleash everyone’s party animal!

Tahoe Live is thrilled to unveil its complete lineup for the highly anticipated 2024 festival. Headlined by Lil Wayne, Diplo, Loud Luxury, and RL Grime, the festival will return for its third year on December 14 and 15, transforming Palisades Tahoe into a world-class winter music destination.

As one of the longest-running music festivals in American history, Austin City Limits celebrated another successful year in Zilker Park. A destination for music fans from around the world, this year’s festivities were arguably the biggest to date. The first day featured some of the biggest names in music, celebrated the industry’s newest voices, and offered everything in between over the course of the weekend.

Denver Jazz, a newly formed 501 (c)(3) Colorado nonprofit corporation proudly announces the inaugural Denver Jazz Fest scheduled from April 3-6, 2025.

The inaugural BeachLife Nights, a two-day “concert in the sand” presented on October 18 and 19 along the Redondo Beach waterfront, was an unmitigated success. A boutique version of the grander BeachLife Fest, which typically takes place in May, it featured eight bands with a concentration on reggae/roots-influenced rock, including Michael Franti & Spearhead, Iration, Fortunate Youth, SOJA, English Beat, and Anuhea.

What makes a great festival? Great bands are essential. A beautiful venue with plenty of space to spread out? That’s a bonus. And let’s not forget about vendors with delicious food and unique items to explore. But perhaps most importantly, a great festival has a spirit of community and a setting so inviting you’d visit even without a festival. Enter Bluegrass Island Music Festival in Manteo, North Carolina—probably the best festival you haven’t heard of, until now.
