Yo what's good everyone. Tryna plan a road trip with the crew and hit some solid festivals this year. Anyone got recommendations for ones that aren't just overpriced influencer traps with mid lineups?
Honestly the vibe depends heavy on whether you want camping in the dirt for three days straight or just a clean one day city thing with decent food options nearby. The big name fests sell out stupid fast but there's a ton of under the radar ones that still pull great acts without the insane ticket markup. A solid calendar of music festivals in USA wide is super helpful for scouting dates and locations so you can map out the whole trip in one go https://myrockshows.com/fests/69-usa/ .
Don't sleep on the smaller stage undercard, that's usually where the best crowd energy is at while everyone else is sardined at the main stage waiting for the headliner. Less phone zombies more actual fun.
