Here’s a little-known fact:
Music festivals take place year round.
Typically from February through November, huge rock, Hip-Hop, jazz, punk, K-Pop, metal, folk and country stars join forces to create unparalleled experiences where fans can catch all of their favorite artists in one place over a long weekend (or two, depending on the festival).
2024 is no different.
For the next nine months, icons like Rolling Stones, Neil Young, Stevie Nicks, Foo Fighters, SZA and literally thousands more will stop into festival grounds all over North America.
To find the fest that makes the most sense for your schedule, our team went ahead and created a list of the 63 (!) biggest festivals — with tickets available — you won’t want to miss this year.
From Tempe, AZ’s February Innings Festival all the way to kick off the year to Orlando, FL’s EDC in November, here are the 63 biggest North American music festivals in 2024.
