Rock Festivals to Look Forward to in 2017

Every week we tell you about an upcoming rock festival, tour announcement or random event that we think would be worth checking out. Well, it’s not too early to begin planning for your next big rock excursion or festival. Below are a few worth considering for the new year…

SXSW in Austin TX this March 10th through the 19th is sure to bring the house down, with stars galore. Imagine 10 days of art, music, food, comedy, meet and greets, and more. South By South West is the premier independent music festival of the year.

Coachella 2017, held in Indigo, CA beginning April 13th and continuing through April 23rd is the biggest west coast festival, featuring the best new artists and a few of your favs. GNR, Calvin Harris, LCD Soundsystem and Ellie Goulding performed last year, but the 2017 lineup has not yet been announced just yet. Needless to say we are counting down the days until we hear those details!

The Bonnaroo Festival in Manchester, TN is June 8th through the 11th with 80,000 of your best friends. The 2017 lineup has also not been set, but Pearl Jam, Dead and Company, Third Eyed Blind, X Ambassadors and the Chainsmokers performed in 2016. With names like that playing at this festival last year, you can bet the 2017 lineup will be just as great.
