Music festival season used to be more or less confined to the spring and summer months. But as festivals have grown more popular, the season has continued to expand more and more, and it now takes up nearly the entire calendar year. When you factor in the endless opportunities to travel abroad for festivals like Primavera Sound, it can be hard to keep track of all the different festival locations, dates, lineups, and prices.
That’s where Thrillist comes in. We’ve got our eyes on all the year’s biggest festivals and the information you need to plan your festival experience. Whether you’re into raving until the sun rises or vibing out in nature—or a mixture of both, the festival lineups below will offer you a wide variety of sonic escapes.
With Memorial Day weekend in the rearview mirror, we’ve already been through some of the most anticipated festivals of 2024. But there’s truly no shortage of music festivals coming up, with more lineups being added almost every single week. Our latest additions this week include high-profile festivals taking place this September in California and Connecticut, plus some EDM fests that you can enjoy for Halloween weekend. Check back regularly for updates on newly announced lineups for all the music festivals you can’t wait to attend, as well as new ones you’ve never even heard of.
