Music has been a part of peoples lives ever since people came into existence! It heals souls and brings people together. That is why I am sharing my music festival bucket list with yall! All of these festivals are located in the Midwest so if you are from the area then making the trip won't be so ungodly. So let us combine the best two things in the universe, in my opinion, music and adventure!
1. Bonnaroo: Manchester, TN
ROO! This is definitely a dream of mine to attend Bonnaroo. This festival is hopping with around 65,000 people attending in 2017! It features an array of genres such as pop, alternative rock, hip hop, EDM country and much more! So much variety! Bonnaroo is definitely all about exploring different types of music. There are notable and famous acts such as Eminem to Stevie Wonder that set foot in Manchester to rock our worlds. Not only there are amazing musical acts to see, there are activity tents ( such as the comedy and cinema tent and art installations for people to enjoy. Plenty of memories to make.
2. Electric Forest: Rotherbury, MI
Ah, the Forest. Next year I will be walking into this magical place with my graduation gown flowing around me. There has been so much hype about this festival because it seems like straight out of a scene of Alice in Wonderland. The art surrounding you will make you believe you have stepped into another dimension. In addition, the festival features jam bands and electronic musical acts. But I think what gives this festival is charm is the fact you can make your own adventure here at the festival: music, art, and activities galore. Can't wait to get lost in the forest.
3. Lollapalooza: Chicago, IL
SO PUMPED! This year I finally get to attend Lollapalooza. Or a staple of young adulthood, as I like to call it. This legendary 4 day festival in Chicago features acts across various music genres such as rock, metal, hip hop, EDM, rock, pop and SO much more! It hosts more than 160,000 people throughout the festival. It has become so popular it has now expanded globally. You have no excuse, fire up your ears and get to the city!
4. Summer Camp: Chilicothe, IL
I shall not forget Summer Camp 2017. Snazzy times. Fun for the whole family. For real, even my parents came to shake things up. Scamp mainly features electronic arts and jam bands, so get your groove on! In addition, there were carnival rides (remember that zipper ride that almost made you pee your pants, they got that) , jellyfish swings and activity tents to play around in. Highly recommend if you have never been to a camping festival! It is a good place to start.
5. Mamby on the Beach: Chicago, IL

The musical acts come from a variety of genres already listed above in addition to bluegrass, folk, and gospel. They even have zydeco, which I did not even know was a genre.
