The Biggest Upcoming Music Festival Lineups Are Here
Because festivals are a year-round affair now, here's who's playing when and where into 2025.
Music festival season used to be more or less confined to the spring and summer months. But as festivals have grown more popular, the season has continued to expand more and more, and it now takes up nearly the entire calendar year. When you factor in the endless opportunities to travel abroad for festivals like Primavera Sound, it can be hard to keep track of all the different festival locations, dates, lineups, and prices.
That's where Thrillist comes in. We've got our eyes on all the year's biggest festivals and the information you need to plan your festival experience. Whether you're into raving until the sun rises, or vibing out in nature, or a mixture of both, the festival lineups below will offer you a wide variety of sonic escapes.
With most of 2024 already come and gone, the major festival announcements will be for 2025. There's truly no shortage of stacked music festivals coming up, with more lineups being added almost every single week. This week, we've got big news with the lineups for Coachella and Rolling Loud California, which will feature Nicki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion, Charli XCX, and many others. Plus, we've got details on the free festival where you can see nostalgic icon Sugar Ray perform.
Check back regularly for updates on newly announced lineups for all the music festivals you can't wait to attend, as well as new ones you've never even heard of.
