May 18-20 – Gulf Shore, AL
Three-Day Pass: SOLD OUT, VIP Passes: SOLD OUT
3rd year – Last year's attendance: 35,000 – Camping: No

Headstash's Take: Heading into its third year on the white sand beaches of Alabama (who knew?), The Hangout was featured on some national commercials about tourism in the Gulf region. This year's lineup is more eclectic than any other festival. Headlined by rockers like Jack White and The Flaming Lips, jammers like String Cheese Incident and Dave Matthews Band and electronic acts like STS9, Skrillex and Paul Oakenfold, there's more than enough for every type of fan. The bill is diverse and large and this festival continues to grow. As the unofficial kick-off to festival season, The Hangout is an amazing event that's only getting better. It's safe to say there's not much of an "undercard" - this festival is filled with all very substantiated acts.

2012 Lineup: Jack White, String Cheese Incident (2 sets), Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dave Matthews Band, The Flaming Lips (Performing Dark Side of the Moon), Steve Winwood, Chris Cornell, Dispatch, Skrillex, Flogging Molly, Wilco, Michael Franti and Spearhead, STS9, Gogol Bordello, Coheed and Cambria, Mavis Staples, Paul Oakenfold, Rich Aucoin, Dawes, Paper Diamond, Shpongle, Alabama Shakes, Futurebirds, M. Ward, Hey Rosetta!, Yelawolf, Sleeper Agent, G.

May 25-27 – Chillicothe, IL
Getting Closer Three-Day Pass: $194.60, Thursday Pre-Party: $33.00,
VIP Upgrade: $185.00
11th year – Last year's attendance: 20,000 – Camping: Yes

Headstash's Take: moe. and Umphrey’s lead the way as they have for the better part of the decade with this Midwest family-themed festival. With camping sites in the middle of the woods, late-night shows in the intimate barn venue and at least a half-dozen sets from both major headliners, Summer Camp keeps pretty close to its format year to year – and it works. Expect plenty of moe. and Umphrey’s with a lot of surprises along the way like unannounced sound checks, random sit-ins and maybe even a sunrise kickball game with Ryan Stasik (see 2010). This year, they got some heavy-hitters in Primus and Bob Weir to tag along at Three Sisters Park. The high energy of gypsy punk rockers Gogol Bordello and the psychedelic bluegrass of Cornmeal balance a lineup that's heavy on downhome jamming and chock full of progressive jam rock.

2012 Lineup: moe., Umphrey's McGee, Pretty Lights, Primus, Rebelution, Lotus, Jane's Addiction, Weir, Robinson, Greene Acoustic Trio, Keller Williams, Yonder Mountain String Band, Gov't Mule, Gogol Bordello, Common, Michael Franti and Spearhead, Ozomatli, Cornmeal, Victor Wooten, Greensky Bluegrass, The Infamous Stringdusters, Hot Buttered Rum, Family Groove Company, Galactic, DJ Solo, Positive Vibr8ions, Chicago Farmer, Brainchild, Spankalicious, The Giving Tree Band, Figure, Minnesota, G. Love and Special Sauce, Zed's Dead, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Chester Brown, 16bit, arabMUZIK, EOTO, Gigantic Underground Conspiracy, Shpongle, Leftover Salmon, Fareed Haque and MathGames, Flinch, 12th Planet, Sexfist, Kaboom Fantastik, UV Hippo, The Steepwater Band, Van Ghost, Afternoon Moon, Anders Osborne, Kids These Days, Gaelic Storm, DJ Tim Williams, Team Bayside High, Zoogma, Zmick, Caravan of Thieves, Elephant Revival, The Lumineers, Future Rock, The Devil Makes Three, The New Orleans Suspects, Tauk, David Gans, The Hogslop String Band, Rubblebucket, Orgone, Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars, ALO, Sister Sparrow and The Dirty Birds, Strange Arrangement, Ponderosa, The Dead Kenny G's, Lance Herbstrong, VibeSquaD, Wyllys and The New York Hustler Ensemble feat.

May 31- June 3 – Ozark, AR
Full Event Pass: $179.00 + fees, VIP Full Event Pass: $635.00 + fees,
Camping Passes: $29.00-$99.00
9th year – Last year's attendance: 20,000 – Camping: Yes (Extra Cost)

Headstash's Take: For a few days in June, Mulberry Mountain in Arkansas is clearly the place to be if you’re a music fan. With an eclectic mix of jam bands (Umphrey's McGee, Slightly Stoopid), rock bands (Primus) and electronic acts (Pretty Lights, Big Gigantic, EOTO), Wakarusa's lineup has enough to satisfy a wide range of festivalgoers. With Rothbury (as it used to be) and 10,000 Lakes both on an indefinite hiatus, it seems as though Wakarusa has picked up the slack and become the premiere jam festival in the country. Music goes all day and night and this year, the conflicts of year's past will be lessened with so many artists given more than one set to perform.

2012 Lineup: Primus, The Avett Brothers, Slightly Stoopid, Pretty Lights, Umphrey's McGee (2 sets), Weir, Robinson and Greene Acoustic Trio, Girl Talk, Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros, Fitz and The Tantrums, G. Love and Special Sauce, Big Gigantic, The Del McCoury Band, Matisyahu, Ghostland Observatory, Tinariwen (2 sets), Savoy, Perpetual Groove, EOTO, The Travelin' McCourys, Quixotic Fusion (2 sets), Tea Leaf Green, Gary Clark Jr., Iration, Blitzen Trapper, Emmitt-Nershi Band (2 sets). VibeSquaD (2 sets), LA Riots, Krafty Kuts and A. Skillz with Dynamite MC, Toubab Krewe, That 1 Guy, Roger Clyne and The Peacemakers, Heartless Bastards (2 sets), The Secret Sisters, Dirtfoot, Adventure Club, Rubblebucket (2 sets), R/D (2 sets), Lance Herbstrong (2 sets), Nathaniel Rateliff, Virtual Boy, Monophonics, Ugly Lion, March Fourth Marching Band (2 sets), The Devil Makes Three, Split Lip Rayfield, Tribal Seeds, Gaelic Storm, The Delta Saints (2 sets), Hearts of Darkness, Mouth, Clandenstine, Balkan Beat Box (2 sets), Beats Antique, Railroad Earth (2 sets), MiM0SA, SOJA (2 sets), ALO, Keller Williams, Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit, The Infamous Stringdusters (2 sets), Green Velvet, MartyParty, RJD2, 12th Planet, Paper Diamond, Orgone, Papadosio, Assembly of Dust, New Monsoon, Nit GriT, The Motet (2 sets), Hot Buttered Rum (2 sets), The Durty Guv'nahs, The Werks, Keys N Krates, Lyrics Born (2 sets), The Moondoggies (2 sets), Futurebirds, The Heavy Pets (2 sets), The Sheepdogs (2 sets), Opiuo, Phutureprimitive, Love and Light, Wick-it the Instigator, Govinda, Shannon McNally, Dangermuffin, Quiet Corral (2 sets), Head For The Hills, Dumptruck Butterlips, Nadis Warriors, Ben Miller Band, Kids These Days, Gramatik, Daedelus, Snarky Puppy, Michal Menert, Cordovas (2 sets), The Lumineers, Break Science, Mia Borders, The Floozies, Mountain Sprout, Nobody Beats The Drum, The Big Wu

May 31- June 3 – Hunter, NY
Price Level 4 Tickets: $170.00, VIP Price Level 5: $485.00
8th year – Last year's attendance: 15,000 – Camping: Yes (Extra Cost)

Headstash's Take: And if you're not headed down South to Wakarusa, there's Warren Haynes-dominated Mountain Jam in Upstate New York. Gov't Mule, Steve Winwood and Michael Franti are slated to headline the event with The Roots and Karl Denson providing ample support. Also featured this year is the reunion of Ben Folds Five, which should be memorable and musical enchanting. This festival has a unique lineup that's tied together by one thing: everyone here can absolutely slay with their respective instrument.
2012 Lineup: Steve Winwood, Gov’t Mule, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Lotus, James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem, Michael Franti and Spearhead, The Roots, Ben Folds Five, The Word (ft. Robert Randolph, John Medeski, and the N. Miss. Allstars), Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue, Travelin’ McCourys w/ Keller Williams, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Dawes, Gary Clark Jr., Carolina Chocolate Drops, Givers, Charles Bradley, Mariachi El Bronx, Bustle In Your Hedgerow, EOTO, Anders Osborne, Sara Watkins, Zach Deputy, Break Science, Planet of the Abts, The Lee Boys, Marco Benevento, Wolf!, Sister Sparrow and The Dirty Birds, The Sheepdogs, The Brew, Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real, Ground Up, Pedrito Martinez, Zee Avi, Aunt Martha, Kopecky Family Band, Lauren Shera, Uncle Lucius, Connor Kennedy Band, Nigel Hall Band, Simone Felice Band, American Babies, Caravan of Thieves, Matt Schofield, Delta Rae, Wyllys, Charlie Dane, Kelli Scarr

June 7-10 – Manchester, TN
Price Level Five: $259.50 + fees, VIP Package for Two: $1399.50 + fees
11th year – Last year's attendance: 80,000 – Camping: Yes

Headstash's Take: Say what you will about Bonnaroo, it basically spawned the modern festival scene today. What started as a jam-heavy festival has evolved into a more mainstream, catchall event with artists from Phish and Dave Matthews to Kanye West and Metallica. It’s big, it’s over-the-top and it’s a monstrous amount of music. Entering it’s eleventh year, Bonnaroo continues to grow and grab the admiration – and ire – of music lovers. And for its eleventh anniversary, you know Bonnaroo will have some tricks up its sleeve. The lineup is always extremely diverse with a ton of artists with mainstream appeal. This year's headliners are the absolute best in rock (Chili Peppers), jam (Phish) and indie (Radiohead) with a bunch of Grammy winners (Bon Iver, Skrillex) thrown in for good measure. Should be an amazing event - if you can stand the Tennessee heat.

2012 Lineup: Phish (2 sets), Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead, The Beach Boys, Bon Iver, The Avett Brothers, The Shins, Foster The People, Skrillex, Dispatch, Feist, The Roots, Alice Cooper, Superjam, Black Star, The Word (John Medeski, Robert Randolph, North Mississippi Allstars), Ludacris, Ben Folds Five, Flogging Molly, Spectrum Road (Cindy Blackman Santana, Jack Bruce, John Medeski, Vernon Reid), Mac Miller, Childish Gambino, Major Lazer, Tune-Yards, Afrocubism, Flying Lotus, Umphrey's McGee, Little Dragon, St. Vincent, City and Colour, The Civil Wars, Young The Giant, Two Door Cinema Club, Punch Brothers, Needtobreathe, Fitz and The Tantrums, Bad Brains, Yelawolf, Dawes, Battles, Danny Brown, The Black Lips, SBTRKT, Phantogram, Kendrick Lamar, Charles Bradley, Danzig Legacy (feat. music by Danzig, Samhain and Danzig/Doyle performing The Misfits), Puscifer, Santigold, The Temper Trap, fun., The Cave Singers, (Comedy Lineup: Aziz Ansari, Steven Wright, Marc Maron, Brian Posehn, Judah Freidlander, Reggie Watts, Rhys Darby, Colin Hay, Garfunkel & Oats, Amy Schumer, Pete Holmes, Rory Scovel, Mike O'Connell, Ali Wong, Kyle Kinan), Rodrigo y Gabriela and C.U.B.A., Sam Bush Band, Michael Kiwanuka, Black Box Revelation

General Admission: $75.00 + fees, Early-Bird VIP: $175.00 + fees
14th year – Last year's attendance: 10,000 – Camping: No

Headstash's Take: With less than one full day (16 hours to be exact) to squeeze in a ton of electronic musical talent, Starscape hits attendees hard and fast with the crunchiest, nastiest DJs and livetronica bands around. This year's headliners are Wolfgang Gartner, Conspirator, Papadosio, Beats Antique and MiM0SA. Starscape is one of the fastest growing fests on the East Coast and you can be sure the party goes way after the sun comes up.

IMPULSE 2012
Words from the organizers:

im·pulse [im-puhls] – noun

1. the influence of a particular feeling, mental state
2. sudden, involuntary inclination prompting to action
3. a psychic drive or instinctual urge
4. an impelling action or force, driving onward or inducing motion
5. A new, three-day camping festival minutes from Atlanta focused on providing artists and fans alike with a new venue to express their collective creativity

IMPULSE Music and Arts Festival is unlike most mainstream festivals in a very distinct way. IMPULSE was created by artists with a vision to give other artists a new foundation and platform for spontaneous creation and collaboration. In recent years, the festival circuit has been diluted with corporate money, choking out the essential reason to have such gatherings. IMPULSE is a grassroots festival based completely on the love and passion that brings artists and fans alike together.

This year, the event will feature over 85 incredible live artists from around the world, five stages (including two dance tents), 3-D light shows, live painting, interactive audio/visual installations, film screenings, audio production workshops, visual art workshops, guest speakers, meditation, motocross, cabin rentals, carnival rides, Tribal Council, nature hikes and much more!

2012 Lineup: EOTO, Emancipator, Archnemesis, Papadosio, BoomBox, Zoogma, Minnesota, The Malah, The Polish Ambassador, NastyNasty, Up Until Now, Eliot Lipp, Octopus Nebula, Ana Sia, Ill-Esha, VibesquaD, Mindelixir, Govinda, Mochipet, Greenhouse Lounge, Nicoluminous, Chronicles of the Landsquid, EP3, Medisin, Gladkill, Stephan Jacobs, Russ Liquid, Sugarpill, The is Art, Erothyme, Damn Right!, GemNeye, J2K, Sounduo, Soulacybin,  Aligning Minds, Spankalicious, Machines are People Too, Clicks $ Whistles, Silo Effect, Fast Nasty, Jimkata, Dagobot, Satoru, Dex, HeRobust, Cry Wolf, Green Street, Sumilan, Sir Charles, Magmablood, Crushendo,  Spooky Jones, Illy Walsh, Opus, Ancient Intelligence, Third Nature, Nick Noyes, Pericles, Bitch Please, Intermixture, Legacy and the Heard, Green Sunshine, BLKMRKT, Sohella/N!tro, The Juice, Dope Dialect, Technicult, t8r(tot), DJM, Beta Minor, Prymativ, Bree Flavored, Organized Grime, more to be announced later . . .

Phish Atlantic City

June 15-17 – Atlantic City, NJ 
Single-day: $60.00, Three-day Pass: $150.00
Last festival's attendance: 30,000 – Camping: No

Headstash's Take: It's still a bit unclear if this is actually a legitimate festival or just a special Phish event. It has all the makings of a festival with little of the typical goofy Phish fanfare that comes along with it. You have to think they'd play up the whole tenth festival thing with some playing card reference or something . . . but you never can tell with these guys.

2012 Lineup: Phish

June 28 - July 1 – Rothbury, MI
Regular Weekend Tickets: $242.50 + fees
2nd year – Last year's attendance: 30,000 – Camping: Yes

Headstash's Take: After a year without any music in Sherwood Forest, String Cheese Incident quelled dissatisfied fans by bringing an eclectic and electronic-heavy lineup back to Rothbury, Michigan in 2011. For the second edition of this festival, they'll tap Bassnectar, Thievery Corporation, Girl Talk and a bevy of other electronic artists to headline. STS9 will perform two "Great Cycle Spectacle" shows with an amped up visual set-up. To round out the lineup, String Cheese will perform three nights and there are some bluegrass and folk bands to break up the womp. When it comes to music in Rothbury, it's not often anyone walks away without their mind being blown. Go for the atmosphere, stay for the music. There's nothing like that magical forest.

2012 Lineup: The String Cheese Incident (3 shows), Bassnectar, STS9 (2 shows), Thievery Corporation, Girl Talk, Santigold, Steve Aoki, Ghostland Observatory, Richie Hawtin, Wolfgang Gartner, Major Lazer, The Travelin' McCourys feat. Keller Williams, Dada Life, Big Gigantic, Datsik, Zeds Dead, Rob Garva (of Thievery Corporation), 12th Planet, Borgore, Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk, Midnite, MiM0SA, EOTO, Das Racist, Reggie Watts, Paper Diamond, Felix Cartal, Gary Clark Jr., Balkan Beat Box, Big Freedia, NiT GriT, The Infamous Stringdusters, Nickodemus, Chali 2na and the House of Vibe, Alvin Risk, The Soul Rebels, See-I, Glass Candy, Battles, Gramatik, Elephant Revival, Ursula 1000, Minnesota, Nobody Beats The Drum, Congo Sanchez, Fruit Bats, The M Machine, Chromatics, Pictureplane, AutoErotique, Nathaniel Rateliff, Adventure Club, Afrolicious, Virtual Boy, The Funk Ark, Franki Chan, Brothers Past, Crizzly, HOTTUB, Zoogma, Cherub, Frank Mitchell Jr., The Knocks, Vau de Vire Society, Morning Teleportation, DrFameus, Robert Rich, Quixotic, Chuck Flask and Keith Kemp, DJ Solo, Ataxia, The Crane Wives, Secrets, WALA, Human Agency, Beats Antique, The Nadis Warriors, Papadosio, The Coop, Paul Basic, GRiZ, R/D

July 5-8 – Quincy, CA
Adult Four-Day Passes: $185.00, various prices for younger,
various prices for late-night tickets
22nd year – Last year's attendance: 10,000 – Camping: Yes

Headstash's Take: In it’s 22nd year, High Sierra is one of the longest tenured music festivals around. The festival, which annually boasts a diverse lineup that in the past has included My Morning Jacket, Ween, The Warren Haynes Band and Yonder Mountain String Band, prides itself in being a small-minded big festival with no overlapping shows and a wide variety of blues, funk, jazz and rock. This year, Ben Harper, STS9, Railroad Earth and Galactic will headline the California event this year. A little for everyone would be an understatement.

2012 Lineup: Ben Harper, STS9, Railroad Earth, Galactic, Built to Spill, Toots and the Maytals, Ryan Bingham, ALO, Lotus, Delta Spirit, Soulive, Heartless Bastards, Devil Makes Three, Deer Tick, Greensky Bluegrass, The Slip, Lettuce, Surprise Me Mr. Davis, Grupo Fantasma, MarchFourth Marching Band, The Motet:Funk Is Dead!, Skerik's Bandalabra, Red Baraat, The Stooges Brass Band, The New Orleans Suspects, Nathan Moore, The Lumineers, Marco Benevento, Elephant Revival, Papadosio, Brokedown in Bakersfield, Gardens and Villa, Mike Dillon Band, Steve Poltz, Big Gigantic, Garage A Trois, Paper Diamond, The Trio feat.

July 12-14 – Mariaville, NY
Three-Day GA Ticket: $170.00, VIP Upgrade: $259.00,
Car Camping Pass: $20.00
11th year – Last year's attendance: 25,000 – Camping: Yes

Headstash's Take: Camp Bisco grew by 5,000 from its eight year to its ninth and 10,000 from nine to ten, showing no signs of stopping. What started as a place for like-minded Disco Biscuits fans to converge has quickly become one of the most popular and well-respected festivals on the East Coast - even among those who have no idea who Brownie or Barber is. This year, they're bringing in Skrillex and Bassnectar to hold down the womp while DJ sets from Amon Tobin, Shpongle, A-Trak, Bonobo and MiM0SA counteract live sets by Lotus, Crystal Castles and Big Gigantic. With Disco Biscuits shows becoming more and more rare, this festival is going to be talked about for years to come - for better or worse.

2012 Lineup: Skrillex, Bassnectar, The Disco Biscuits, Crystal Castles, Big Gigantic, Lotus, Holy Fuck!, Brothers Past, Break Science with Chali 2na, Big Boi, Atmosphere, Portugal. The Man, El Ten Eleven, Amon Tobin's ISAM, Shpongle Presents The Masquerade, A-Trak, Dada Life, MiM0SA, Daedelus, Simian Mobile Disco, Bonobo, Zed’s Dead, Porter Robinson, Zedd, Mord Fustang, Kill The Noise, Rubblebucket, Gramatik, Tycho, Nit Grit, Archnemesis, Crave, Alvin Risk, The M Machine, Zoogma, Eliot Lipp (Live), Blau, Mansions on the Moon, Future Rock, Minnesota, The Knocks, Abakus, Thundercat, Shingeto, Ill-Esha, Killabits, Lance Herbstrong, Mux Mool, Orchard Lounge, Virtual Boy, Dr. Fameus, Nick Catchdubs, Codes, JWLS, Star Eyes, Mindelixier, Nadis Warriors, Paul Chambers, Inspired Flight, Freekbot, Alpha Data, Kung Fu, Manhattan Project, Rich Aucoin, Hottub, Xylos, Spiritual Rez, Bird of Prey, Revolva, Michetti

July 19-22 – Bridgeport, CT
Advance Weekend Camping Pass: $205.00, VIP Camping Pass: $420.00
17th year – Last year's attendance: 20,000 – Camping: Yes

Headstash's Take: Vibes is a festival that prides itself being based around the music, emotions and ideals of The Grateful Dead. This year's lineup is chock full of all GD current projects like Phil Lesh and Friends, Bob Weir and Bruce Hornsby, 7 Walkers and Mickey Hart Band. This year, there's even a little electronic rock with STS9, Conspirator and a Big Gigantic-Conspirator collaboration. Rounding the event out are eclectic acts like Zappa Plays Zappa, Yonder Mountain String Band and The Avett Brothers - all fairly different performers. The Connecticut coast will undoubtedly be rocking with old-school fans, new-school fans and jam fans.

2012 Lineup: Primus, Phil Lesh and Friends, Bob Weir and Bruce Hornsby (with special guest Branford Marsalis), STS9, The Avett Brothers, Mickey Hart Band, Yonder Mountain String Band, Steel Pulse, Zappa Plays Zappa, 7 Walkers feat. Bill Kreutzmann, The Greyboy Allstars, George Porter Jr. and Runnin' Pardners, Keller Williams, Dark Star Orchestra, Mates of State, Deep Banana Blackout, ALO, Ryan Montbleau Band, Max Creek, Zach Deputy, Kung Fu, Joe Pug, Outernational, David Gans, McLovins, Dangermuffin Yarn, Toubab Krewe, Dopapod, Cosmic Jibaros, Twiddle, Band Together, Andy The Music Man, Lucid, Royal Family Ball feat. Soulive and Lettuce (late-night), Conspirator (late-night), Gigantic Underground Conspiracy (late-night), The Machine (late-night)

July 19-22 – Thornville, OH
Advance Four-Day Passes: $199.00, VIP Passes: $490.00 + fees
16th year – Last year's attendance: 25,000 – Camping: Yes

Headstash's Take: No that isn't a typo - All Good is in Ohio this year after so many years on Marvin's Mountaintop in West Virginia. Reasons on the switch are still not clear, but it definitely came as a surprise to the East Coast locals. Nevertheless, All Good has been one of the preeminent jam festivals in the country for years now and there's no reason to think a different venue will change that. Priding itself on no overlapping sets, this year features legends The Allman Brothers, Phil Lesh, Bob Weir and Bruce Hornsby as well as The Flaming Lips, Lotus, Galactic and Shpongle. And with more bands left to be announced, organizers surely have a few surprises in store for their first foray into the Midwest.

2012 Lineup: The Allman Brothers Band, Phil Lesh and Friends, The Flaming Lips, Bob Weir and Bruce Hornsby feat. Branford Marsalis, Michael Franti and Spearhead, Lotus*, Big Gigantic, Yonder Mountain String Band, Conspirator, G. Love and Special Sauce, Galactic*, Shpongle Presents The Masquerade*, Mickey Hart Band, Dark Star Orchestra, Trampled By Turtles, SOJA, Railroad Earth, Papadosio*, The Werks, The Wood Brothers, Lettuce*, The Lumineers, Everyone Orchestra, The Rex Jam, Tea Leaf Green, New Mastersounds, Greensky Bluegrass, Rumpke Mountain Boys, The 4onthefloor, ALO, Elephant Revival, Dirtfoot, Yellow Dubmarine, Larry Keel and Natural Bridge, Jerry Joseph and The Jackmormons, Passafire, The Devil Makes Three, Corey Harris and The Rasta Blues Experience, Rubblebucket, The Pimps of Joytime, Red Wanting Blue, Moon Hooch, Cris Jacobs Band, Special Performance By The Bridge

August 3-5 – Chicago, IL
General Admission Three-Day Pass: SOLD OUT,
Single Day Pass (only Sunday available): $95.00
16th year – Last year's attendance: 270,000 (three days) – Camping: No

Headstash's Take: Lollapalooza is one of the biggest festivals in the country and is centrally located in Chicago's beautiful Grant Park. Though it began as a celebration for alternative rock, it's quickly become a haven for some of the biggest names in electronic music. Combining the best in rock (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jack White), alternative (The Black Keys, The Shins) and electronic (Bassnectar, Big Gigantic, Kaskade), the incredibly diverse lineup makes for an inimitable festival experience.

August 10-12 – Turin, NY
Not-So-Early-Bird Tickets: $120.00
13th year – Last year's attendance: 10,000 – Camping: Yes

Headstash's Take: For the moe.ron who didn’t get enough in Amsterdam, Illinois or all over the rest of the country, moe.down is the premiere moe. event. It’s the biggest, the most bombastic and it’s at times just plain ridiculous. After two years in Mohawk, NY, moe.down is back to where it began in Turin - the place that housed the ridiculous affair for a decade. This year they're joined by Summer Camp partners, Umphrey's McGee, SOJA, Timbre Coup and of course, plenty of goofy rockers moe.

2012 Lineup: moe., Umphrey's McGee, SOJA, TImbre Coup, Aqueus, North Mississippi Allstars, The Bright Light Social Hour, Grace Potter and The Nocturnals, Galactic, The Wood Brothers, Marco Benevento, Kyle Hollingsworth, The Everyone Orchestra (conducted by Matt Butler, featuring Steve Kimock, Marco Benevento, Jamie Masefield, Jeff Sipe, Andy Hess, Jans Ingber and more), Leroy Justice, JC Brooks and The Uptown Sound, Infantree

If you needed an excuse to hit the left coast, here it is.

Rootwire 2012
A word from the Papadosio Crew: “Each year, an otherworldly event descends upon the gorgeous woodlands of the Appalachian foothills. Rootwire 2012 will be a culmination of our collective vision, a synchronistic gathering of epic proportions. What is Rootwire? Simply an environment designed from the ground up to inspire and enlighten, created entirely by those in attendance. It is an attempt to re-instill the values of the original psychedelic movement – to transform society. Also, to banish the pitfalls of today’s modern music festivals, which are funded by corporations, and designed solely for profit.

Rootwire 2k12 will feature the live music, visual and performance art of the nation’s greatest visionary masters. Three stages, massive circus tent, visionary art gallery, art installations, guided meditations, yoga and ceremonies, forums and live speakers, film viewings, woodland lighting, wooded camping, workshops and lessons and much, much more.

It has been said time and time again: Rootwire is the ideal festival. But don’t take it from us – ask someone who has attended and they will surely tell you this is the one not to miss!

We invite you to be yourself. All are welcome. Come home to Rootwire. "
