Rock Festivals – Make This the Year You Don’t Just Talk about Going

They’re there. You’re in front of your computer. Fix it.

Thanks to the introduction of Lollapalooza and the like in the early-90’s, music festivals have only recently proliferated in the United States despite the historic popularity of multi-day festivals in both Europe and Australia.

While some of the more popular festivals may not be terribly close to you, there are so many different and compelling festivals throughout the nation these days that you don’t have to make it to Coachella, Lollapalooza, Pitchfork, or ACL to see renowned acts and have a kick-ass time.

The Space Lab does a pretty good job of running through the most pertinent and popular festivals this year, so rather than moping about missing Jay-Z at Coachella, get pro-active and go see live music.
