The Brooklyn Music Festival
Much like Brooklyn itself, this music festival promises an eclectic lineup. Hoping to turn this debut day of music and entertainment into an annual event, the festival has lined up homegrown New York sound and fused it with Japanese Gypsy Rock and reggae pop. The lineup includes Nina Sky, DJ Ray Vazquez, and Brooklyn-based Anaka and (I am) Isis. The first annual Brooklyn Music Festival is sure to keep things interesting!

Who better to spend the end of summer with than Mrs. Carter herself? Beyoncé is headlining Budweiser’s Made In America Festival in Philadelphia this Labor Day Weekend, and she’s brining a lot of friends. This two day event is stacked performances by Nine Inch Nails, Calvin Harris, Kendrick Lamar, 2 Chainz, and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – just to name a few. You can purchase day-long or two-day passes. Whatever BBQ you thought would help you celebrate the end of summer? Think again.

Austin City Limits Music Festival
“Keep Austin Weird.” We’ve all heard this cultural battle cry, and for a two weekends this October, some huge names in music will be singing it. Passion Pit, Kings of Leon, Lionel Richie, and Kendrick Lamar will be some of the bigger names taking the stage. But in true Austin fashion, this festival has found a place for up-and-coming, off-the-beaten-path bands. Haim, The Weeks, Noah and the Whale, and Valerie June will all be keeping Austin City Limits weird as well.
October 4-6, October 11-13; Zilker Park, Austin
