Loads.
But not Bonnaro….they’re too commercial for me and I like being able to see all the performers and not have to race from stage to stage to see each one.
Besides, the smaller ones have less custy’s and people who are only there for the drugs.
Went to Langerado last year, going to Wakarusa this year.
i really want to go to the ‘sasquatch music festival’ in washington state.

EDIT:
and defiantly going to inaugural ‘outside lands festival’ in goldengate park, san francisco.
here is the line up:
In addition to previously announced headliners Radiohead, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and Jack Johson, the fest has added Beck, Wilco, Broken Social Scene, Black Mountain, Devendra Banhart, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, Bon Iver, Drive-By Truckers, Andrew Bird, M. Ward, Nellie McKay, Manu Chao, Regina Spektor, the Cool Kids, Two Gallants, the Coup, Steel Pulse, Lyrics Born, Cold War Kids, Café Tacuba, and both Little Brother and the Felice Brothers, who are apparently unrelated to each other.
The Jack Johnson fan in your life will be sated by appearances from Ben Harper, Widespread Panic, Primus and Galactic, while the Tom Petty contingent will get a boost from Steve “Higher Love” Winwood.
btw, my mom’s family is from fortuna, humbolt co. CA. (cough, cough.)
wow, I wish.
just don’t seem to do that anymore (like that jazz standard — “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore”)
last festival I was at was the Furthur festival in the late 90s.
Going to Warped Tour like always.
