In the great tradition of Summer Band Camp or in some other tradition that I'm ignoring, music festivals, tours, and concert series run rampant during the summer months. To keep us all updated, Salon recently posted a detailed schedule and guide. But they overlook one or two or five:
Milwaukee's Summerfest '08 hosts Rush, John Mellencamp, The Steve Miller Band and Stevie Wonder. The Summerfest is the self-proclaimed largest music festival in the world. Festivities kick off on June 26th and run for eleven days.
Ozzfest '08 only has one date lined up on August 9th in Frisco, Texas but Ozz-fans are already planning to attend.
Musikfest '08 in Bethlehem, PA gets started on August 1st with Avril Lavigne before other bands, including Earth, Wind & Fire and Boston, take to the stage during the ten-day run.
Mile High Music Fest will feature the Dave Matthews Band, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers and John Mayer on July 19 & 20.
Austin City Limits, although a bit past summer with dates September 26 through 28th, offers acts like the Foo Fighters, Gnarls Barkley and Iron & Wine.
With so many options, you might think there'd be a few repeat performers. You'd be right. If you didn't catch Gnarls Barkley at the Myspace Secret Show in NYC on June 8th, you can see them at Summerfest, Austin City Limits, the KCRW World Festival in LA or at Lollapalooza in Chicago.
Fans will be able to catch Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers at Summerfest and at the Mile High Music Fest. Or if they prefer John Mayer, he will be playing Summerfest, the Mile High Music Fest and the Rothbury Festival (July 3-6) this summer.
Stone Temple Pilots may be making the most festival stops this year. The band has plans to play Summerfest, Musikfest, Bumbershoot in Seattle, the VirginFestival in Baltimore and the Chippewa Valley Rock Fest in Cadott, WI.
Make the most of your summer by mixing up your music festival experiences.
