- Summer time has always been the best time of the year. School’s out, people are backyard grilling, playing ball, hitting the beach, vacationing and enjoying all sorts of outdoor activities. My favorite thing to do in warmer weather is to catch some live music at one of the great outdoor amphitheaters or attend a music festival where you can camp out and chill for a weekend. Whats better than a couple of cold ones and some hot music. Being from the Northeast I am partial to the Xfinity Center in Mansfield MA where I have seen at least 100 rock n roll shows. Clapton, Peter Gabriel, Steve Winwood, Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith, Allmans, Govt Mule, Dave Mathews, Widespread Panic, Rascall Flatts, Kid Rock ..the list goes on and on and includes the craziest Lollapalooza ever where in 1991 out of control fans breached the fences and started bonfires to which people were dancing around. The lineup that night; Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ministry, Ice Cube, Soundgarden, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Lush. Not too shabby!
- Summer is also the time when major acts hit the road and tour. The last several years country music fans especially have been blessed to see some great artists and bands seemingly every week. Enough about the past lets talk about whats happening this summer across North America. For country fans enjoy artists like Garth Brooks, Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, Keith Urban, Dierks Bentley, Jason Aldean and Brad Paisley for starters. Country music has never been more popular and we have the best tickets to all the country music shows.
- The best festivals are The Bayou Country Superfest featuring Kenny Chesney and Jason Aldean May 25th and 26th, Bonnaroo featuring Phish and Childish Gambino June 13 – 16th, Newport Folk Festival with Phil Lesh and Kacey Musgraves July 26- 28th, The CMA Music Fest in Nashville June 6 with Carrie Underwood, Lollapalooza in Chicago Aug 1 – 4 featuring Arianna Grande and Burning Man which is a mixed media extravaganza held in the NV desert 8/25 – 9/2, Mountain Jam June 13 -16th in Bethel NY is always great and the Woodstock 50th reunion is fantastic however some issues make the festival up in the air at this time .
- Summer love, Endless summer, Summer time and the livin is easy.. you get the picture now get the tickets and have the time of your life.
