"Summer Music Festival Business Heats Up"

Woodstock

A fan’s best chance to see live music this summer won’t necessarily be scoring a ticket to a band’s concert tour. More likely, your favorite artist will be playing one of the summer’s major music festivals, rather than canvassing the country alone.

With the introduction of 10 new festivals this year, this summer is shaping up to be an arms race between promoters hoping to woo fans with stellar lineups in order to get them to buy tickets often priced above $150.
