Top Music Festivals Picks For Summer 2015
We selected music festivals for every weekend left in summer that we think are noteworthy. Here are our top picks for those of us who don’t make music, but can certainly make some noise, to cheer on favorite bands, whether local, regional, national or international.
Music festivals such as the Moondance Jam have a little bit of something for everyone. It boasts four stages: Saloon Stage, Lazy Moon Acoustic Stage, Tiki Bar Stage and Main Stage. Sammy Hagar is headlining, but you can also find the Doobie Brothers and Black Stone Cherry among many others. There are also multiple tribute bands, performing classic rock covers for bands such as Queen, the Beatles, Rush and Wings.
It’s time to put on those cowboy boots and head to Wisconsin for Country Jam Wisconsin, a country music extravaganza which draws visitors from all over the map to music festivals such as this! Here you will be able to see country legends, groups and singers such as Lady Antebellum, Blake Shelton and Eric Church all in one location!
Lollapalooza is one of those music festivals that started out as an idea and has grown by leaps and bounds, with more than 130 bands from all over the world performing on eight different stages. If you want a crowd that has a lot of hands waving, heads nodding and people singing along, then this one’s for you! Where else can Paul McCartney be on stage after Metallica?
This is one of the most unusual music festivals we could find! The American Kustom Kulture Roots Ink N Iron show has hot rods galore! Not only is it a music festival, but is a car and bike show as well as a tattoo convention in which 280 of the best tattoo artists in the world are available for those who want to get inked. Bands such as Suicidal Tendencies, Misfits and Alex Vargas are all drawn to this unique summer event!
Music festivals are made to last, and this one goes on for 10 days! A draw for an eclectic group of bands and musicians, there is music for everyone in this gathering from Duran Duran to The Flaming Lips to Reba McEntire to Snoop Dog. There are throwback bands such as Culture Club and ZZ Top, alternative bands such as Collective Soul and 3 Doors Down, grunge bands such as Alice in Chains and indie or roots bands such as O.A.R. No matter what rock you like, they’ve got it!
Music festivals like MFNW showcase a lot of local and regional bands as well as national bands, but they stay close to their heart, which is all about indie bands. At Waterfront Park, you can expect multiple genres of music such as alternative, electronic, hip hop, punk and more. Bands such as Foster the People, Beirut and Modest Mouse have found a home at MusicFestNW, which is a great place to hear a new up-and-coming band!
No matter what music festivals you decide to attend this summer, make sure to have some concert outings with friends, supporting musical talents. The shows go on, rain or shine, because the show must go on!
Music ornaments are a great way to commemorate music festivals and concerts this summer! We can personalize them with an event name, concert, person’s name, favorite artist or a combination of the above. Music ornaments make the perfect keepsakes for remembering fun music festivals long after the last of the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer end. With 25 different guitar ornaments to choose from, we’ve got the perfect instrument!
