Summercamp...and the livin' is easy
The lineup for this year’s Summer Camp Music Festival in Chillicothe IL has been mostly announced for awhile and it is solid without a doubt.
I have been putting off posting about it for several reasons.
1. I definitely forsee a few big additions before festival weekend (May 25th - 27th)
and 2. There is one huge name on there that I just can’t quite wrap my head around.
You...

Kanrocksas music festival on hold until 2013 →
“The Kanrocksas Music Festival — which featured headliners Eminem and Muse in its 2011 inaugural showing — has been placed on hold until 2013.
While the organizers of the festival had hoped to have a 2012 Kanrocksas Music Festival, due to construction at the Kansas Speedway where the event is hosted, the venue will not be available this year for organizers to use.

Taking things one step Further...
If you like festivals then there is probably a good chance you like The Allman Brothers and Further. And if you like the Allman Brothers, festivals, and Further, then there is a helluva good chance that you have seen the lineup to the 8th annual Wanee Music Festival in Live Oak Florida.
That’s right, this year The Allman Brothers and their organizational team have outdone themselves...

Snowmont Bromont
What’s this? Another mountain-side shred-fest music festival? That’s right… from the organizers of Snowball comes the first annual Snowmont! This one is coming up quick (March 30th-April 1st) so if you haven’t made plans to go already you may be out of luck with hotel rooms and condos, but considering how kick ass this lineup is, it could be worth a shot.
PS Want to...

Get lifted.
If there is one thing that I wish I could do everyday for the rest of my life, It would definitely be going to festivals. If there were two things, it would be snowboarding and going to festivals. In fact I’m willing to submit that music and skiing/boarding go together like pb&j or coffee and cigarettes. It seems that people all over the country agree with me as this year has seen the...

I'm going to the 'Roo. How about you?
There aren’t many holidays that attract as much disdain as V-day, especially amongst those without a significant other, but here at Festiland we are definitely feelin’ the love this morning with the big announcement of Bonnaroo’s 2012 lineup.
Coming off of two years of big hip-hop/rap headliners (Jay-Z in 2010 and Eminem and Lil’ Wayne in 2011) Bonnaroo seems to be...

“Festivalgoers from around the country are distressed about recent problems that left thousands of veteran Burners, as festival attendees are called, without tickets to the August event and might have landed tickets in the hands of scalpers.

RHCP @ HANGOUT
That’s right, RHCP has been added to Hangout’s lineup. Seeing as how they are going to be on tour in the US all through the summer, it doesn’t surprise me that they will make a few big festiland stops. Other big names like Jack White, String Cheese, Radiohead, and The Shins are also forming US tours around the festival circuit and it seems like we may see them on a few...

Sasquatch
I know that I sound like a broken record saying that all of these festivals are so awesome and how bad I want to go to all of them and I’m afraid I’m going to have to say the same shit again. The truth is that I am a man in love with the spirit of the music festival. The opportunity to experience many live performances in a short period of time. The bond you develop with fellow...

The Electric Forest Acid Test
If your facebook feed looked anything like mine did yesterday, then you already know that the Electric Forest lineup was announced and EDM fans and die-hard cheese heads are all buzzing. Electric forest is the reincarnated version of the Rothbury Festival, a festival which gained serious cred with killer lineups in 2008 and 2009. After a hiatus in 2010, Electric Forest emerged in 2011 and festi...

SXSWTF
I don’t have many regrets in my life but one that has been weighing on me a lot lately is that I didn’t go to SXSW last year when it synched up perfectly with my Spring Break. This year’s lineup looks super sick and it also coincides quite nicely with three of my midterm exams.
If you haven’t heard of SXSW (probably not many of you) or are just confused by it (probably...
