Bonnaroo
Our personal fav, you can experience 10 stages with a lineup of over 150 musical acts and other performers, the music goes on for three days in June in Manchester, Tennessee. This year, acts such as Phish, Childish Gambino, Solange, Post Malone, Brockhampton, Odesza, The National, The Lumineers, Cardi B, Brandi Carlile and Walk the Moon will be performing. And when you need to take a break from the music, you can slip over to the Mamie booth to play dress up with your favorite hippies :)

Woodstock 50-year Anniversary Tour
The finalized deets of Woodstock are still up in the air but can you imagine the epic-ness??  Watkins Glen, NY will hold the coveted 50th Anniversary celebration of the original Woodstock Festival in mid-August. Put together by the dude who co-created the 1969 Woodstock (Michael Lang), specific acts will not be announced until tickets goon sale in February. There will be 3 stages with over 40 acts on the bill, some of them very big names.
