There's nothing quite like music festivals. They bring together live performances with like-minded music fans, and let's not forget to have some crazy fun in great atmospheres. And so, here's a countdown of ten must-attend music festivals in the USA for 2024.

Coachella: the most iconic festival in the world, held across two weekends in April. This is one of the most common reasons for people to travel around the globe, for those few days of festivity with a mixed crowd of artists from all genres, impressive art installations, and hip crowds. One thing any music lover should visit at least once.
2. Lollapalooza (Chicago, IL)
Lollapalooza will take place during the last week of July. It has been hosting great performances for decades, and today maintains regular attendance with mainstream headliners alongside breakthrough artists. This four-day festival takes place in Grant Park, and while offering rock and pop sensibilities and hip-hop, electronic, and great food, so not much to say about Bonnaroo aside from its trademark name- Manchester, TN.
4. Newport Folk Festival - Newport, RI
Scheduled to take place in late July, the festival celebrates folk, roots, and American music. With a stunning seaside location and a mix of established and contemporary performers, the Newport Folk Festival is perfect for those who love singer-songwriters and acoustic performances.
