What to Do With Your Summer

Summer is coming which means one thing: It's festival season. Three months of good music, happy memories, and overpriced water are coming your way. But how does someone decide whether to go to Lollapalooza or Summerfest, or how to choose between Sasquatch and Bonnaroo? Here is your guide to some of the coolest festivals coming up, where they are and who'll be performing there.

Lollapolooza in Chicago

Glastonbury: Always a favorite this event, held in Glastonbury, U.K., will include performances by Coldplay, Paolo Nutini, and Elbow to name a few. It'll be held from June 22 to 26.
