In 2022-23 there are going to be some amazing Music festivals to attend and we're here to help you get in the groove with this list of our favorite festivals from around the world. We'll start by looking at a few of the most anticipated music festivals. Of course, there are so many festivals out there that we couldn't include them all, but these have received rave reviews from locals and travelers alike. Which festival will you be attending next year?

With international music festivals popping up everywhere it can be hard to figure out which one is right for you. My personal favorite is the Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama. It's only a short drive from my home in Atlanta but it's definitely an event I will not miss!

In addition to the premier international festivals, there are some great local festivals that will help you get your summer started off right. Here are a few of my favorites

Shaky Knees

Great indie rock and alternative festivals were held in Atlanta at Central Park in Cobb County. This is one of the best outdoor venues in the city and it's right off I-75 so you can exit early and get there before the crowds arrive.

Alpharetta is one of Atlanta's newer suburbs but they have already created a lovely little music festival. It draws a great crowd and many locals like to go to this one because it's conveniently located and you don't have to deal with the hassle of downtown traffic. If you're into smaller festivals this will be a lot more enjoyable for you than packed arenas or stadiums.

Newport Folk Festival

When: Friday, July 28 – Sunday, July 30

Where: Newport, Rhode Island

What to know: This festival was founded on a completely different idea than the music festivals that we're used to. It was created to bring folk music back into the American consciousness. It's one of the only festivals that goes against the normal corporate model and it has managed to stay successful for over 50 years. Not only does this festival have great performances but it is also beneficial for the community and sponsors local causes every year. The Newport Folk Festival was also listed by Forbes as one of "12 Music Festivals Worth Traveling For" in 2012.

Gold Rush Music Festivals

When: Friday, May 5-Saturday, May 6 & Saturday, May 6 – Sunday, May 7
Where: Las Vegas, Nevada

What to know: This is a 4-day event that will be taking place on The Strip in Downtown Las Vegas. There will be over 100 artists and this is one of the biggest festivals in the state.

This is just a small sample of the amazing music you'll hear while in Atlanta! Have fun planning your summer travels. For more information on Atlanta & Georgia check out my travel guide to

Made in American Music Festivals

When: Labor Day Weekend (September 1 – 2)

Where: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

What to know: This festival is one of my favorites because of the lineup. It brings together some local artists along with major artists. If you can't get to the Hangout Festival (there's always next year!) this is a great alternative that won't cost you a fortune.

Cheers!
