Music Festival Season Isn’t Over Yet—Here Are the Best Events to Attend the Rest of the Tear

If the music festivals of 2022 prove anything, it’s that festival season is back and better than ever. Lollapalooza, Bottlerock, The Governors Ball and more massive music festivals returned this year, and festival season isn’t done yet.

The return of music festivals came after Coachella‘s cancellation in 2020 and 2021. The two-weekend music festival, which is held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, in the Coachella Valley in the Colorado Desert, was scheduled for the second and third weekends of April 2020 with headliners Rage Against the Machine, Travis Scott and Frank Ocean. However, the festival was unexpectedly cancelled and postponed to the second and third weekend of October 2020 due to the current health crisis. The event, which has been around for more than 20 years, was scheduled again for April 2021 before it was cancelled. After a two-year break, Coachella made its grand return in April 2022.
