Craving fresh music festival news?

There are many websites that Google hits when you type in “music festival news” in the search bar. But which news are you looking for? One of the most helpful user-friendly sites I’ve picked up on is Music Festival Junkies. This website has the complete 2012 guide to music and art festivals in the United States, Canada, and throughout Europe. For any interest you may have regarding top festival cities, top free festivals, and unique festivals, you name it this site can be your information tank for it! Music Festival Junkies offer more than just upcoming news and bulletins, they also have contact information listed if you would like to write for them! The pieces I have read so far are most intriguing and demonstrate innovation and creativity for these festivals all over the world. This article by Vito Valentinetti entitled A Good Idea: Science At Music Festivals is from the Green Man Festival located in the Black Mountains of Wales. It is an awesome read if you’re particularly interested in science! 

Pictured below is from the festival in Einstein’s Garden where festival-goers can ride bicycles and together help power an offbeat music performance according to Valentinetti. 

If traveling to the Black Mountains of Wales is a little out of your entertainment budget, Music Festival Junkies have several other areas of the site you can frequent to find the perfect festival destination for you. This team clearly demonstrates their dedication to covering the experience, the scene, and the music with news, lineups, reviews, and commentaries. With an easy to navigate page, you can filter through which festivals or news topics you’re most interested in and subscribe to their newsfeed. The combination of music, art, science, and love of nature you can experience through this site is sure to attract any eager festival-goer this season!
