2012 New Music Guide: Major Festivals
By Mark Brown
Special to MSN Music
Hitting a festival isn't like catching a show -- it's a commitment, a weekend
that can include camping, hotels, hiking, weather endurance and getting your
tickets and accommodations way, way in advance. The payoff, of course, is
stellar lineups, ... more once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and more music going in your
earholes than anyone can reasonably be expected to take in over a few days. It's
a bright spot for promoters as well as fans, since many of the best fests sell
out months in advance, and tickets for some are already gone. Check out the best
gatherings coming up in 2012.
