Festival season is in full swing, and if you’re a frequent festgoer, you’ll want to check out FestivalPass.

Memberships range from $19 to $99 per month or $210 to $1,080 per year and come with perks such as early access, no ticketing fees, bonus tickets, and more. Additionally, resale sites like SeatGeek, StubHub, and VividSeats offer tickets to sold-out events.
As the world starts to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, many festival organizers are easing up on restrictions. Mask mandates are no longer in place, and some events do not require proof of vaccination or negative COVID-19 tests for entry. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance for large events and gatherings states that outdoor activities are less likely to lead to COVID-19 transmission due to fewer virus particles in the air. However, it’s always a good idea to stay informed about your local COVID-19 situation and follow any guidelines set by the event organizers.
If you can’t attend your favorite festivals in person, don’t worry. Streaming options are available. Hulu, for example, is the exclusive streamer for festivals like Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits. So you can enjoy the music from the comfort of your own home.
Now, let’s dive into some upcoming major music festivals in the US:
