Party time, excellent.
It’s the season for music festivals, that special time of the year when thousands of revelers crowd into grassy outdoor venues each weekend for multi-day, multi-act celebrations of rhythm, art, and food. Whether you fancy hard rock, house music, or the horn-heavy beats of New Orleans jazz, there’s a fête for you. And though some festivals have fallen victim to high prices and over-commercialization, there are still a fair amount of smaller concerts that offer the same great vibes, without the $11 cans of Coors Light. Take your pick from our photo collection of music festivals from around the world and hopefully get ready to attend one for yourself!
