Music Festivals to Add to Your Bucket List

We all know that it's on our bucket list to make it out to Coachella one year, but there are many other music festivals all over the world worth getting excited for. Some of my other faves are Radio 1's Big Weekend and T in the Park (ugh both those are such goals), but I thought I would look into even more music festivals that are worthy of a bucket list add.

Common Ground Music Festival - Lansing, MI

Common ground happens in downtown Lansing, along the banks of the Grand River in Adado Riverfront Park. This annual celebration features an outstanding line-up of musical acts, focusing on top-level, national, contemporary music performers, scores of food vendors, and a dynamic display of outdoor interactive activities for kids. With an attractive, intimate venue, state-of-art production and a comprehensive array of patron amenities, the festival is the premier special event of the summer in the greater Lansing region.

Acts I'm excited about: Meghan Trainor, Motion City Soundtrack, Three Days Grace

Loufest - St. Louis, MO

Thousands of music fans from across the country descend on St Louis for the Loufest music festival. The all-ages event features national and local bands on 3 stages, great food, cool retail, and a greening effort that includes recycling, composting, free valet bike parking, and a refillable water station. For our youngest fans there's area k, a special area filled with music, magic, kid-friendly food, a rock climbing wall, and more. (cred.)

Acts I'm excited about: Hozier, Nate Ruess, Young the Giant

Summer Ends 2015 - Tempe, AZ

Summer ends music festival will be a 3 day event along the Tempe beach waterfront. The festival features some of today’s hottest recording artists. Accompanying the wide variety of musical acts will be food vendors, beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), sponsor booths, arts, crafts and more. This will be a weekend for both local Arizonians and out-of-state visitors alike to come enjoy. (cred.)

Acts I'm excited about: Brand New, G-Eazy, Jimmy Eat World

Calgary Stampede 2015 - Calgary, AB

The Calgary stampede is a volunteer-supported, not-for-profit organization that preserves and promotes western heritage and values. Best known for the world-renowned 10-day event, the Calgary stampede is active year-round.
