5 Best Summer Music Festivals of 2013!

music festivals1

We love music and we love summer and summer music festivals are the perfect combination of both!  They are literally the glue that holds summer together.  We all look forward to late sumer nights, days by the pool, unbearable (but much loved) summer heat, night swims and tan lines. But what we really love the most are the music festivals. Whether it’s just a local summer fest or a multi mil festival production, music festivals are the epic staple of summer. 

So here are OUR top 5 music festivals for Summer 2013!

Though tickets for this festival are completely sold out, the EDC experience is traveling the world! Insomniac Events introduced The Road to Las Vegas with a series of EDC festivals around the states, and this year they’re adding Chicago and London.

music festivals3

Yep… not necessary our cup of tea but the lineup of musicians playing is so incredible we’re willing to bear the mud, smelling armpits and camping rituals that must go along with today’s version of Woodstock.  Just think…20 years from now your kids will say, “You went to Bonnaroo???” You’ll be the coolest parent in the carpool!

Lollapalooza has to be one of the most incredible festivals of the summer.  The killer line up should really say it all, but what tops it off is that it is set in the heart of Chicago.  Check out the lineup! Incredible!!! And if you can’t make the Chicago festival, Lollapalooza also plants its feet in Chile and Brazil!! Click HERE for festival trailer!

This couldn’t be more awesome! The killer minds behind TomorrowLand have finally agreed to bring this epic music festival to the states! And we couldn’t be more excited! The energy this festival brings is killer! For years and years the Europeans have been partying to the festivities of this festival and we’ve traveled the distance.  But now its in our backyard – Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia!

We’ve never been to this festival…or even heard of it for that matter, but with worldwide talent like Pitbull and the forever forgotten 98 Degrees this could be the festival of the summer.  After all, it claims to be “The World’s Largest Music Festival” and we’re all ears!

Get Lucky! Daft Punk feat. Pharrell Williams! Perfect Summer Song!

daft punk

We’re already looking for the perfect song for Summer 2013 and this might just be a contender.  Get Lucky from Daft Punk featuring Pharrell Williams combines that crazy electric jam vibe with a 70’s groove making us wonder if 2013 is going to be a return to the 70’s with carefree abandon?!!! Wasn’t that also the Summer of Sam vibe as in Son of Sam murders in 1977 in The Bronx??? Damn bitch…it’s gonna be a hottttt summer!!!!

Combination feat. Tommy Clint: Wake Up the Neighbors

combination

Wakes Up the Neighbors from Combination Feat. Tommy Clint has literally hit the European Dance Charts running.  Only in it’s 2nd week, the hot single has already moved from #57 to #25.  And we have to be honest…we didn’t love this song when we first heard it.  Actually, we kind of thought it was some bad demo someone had sent us to review.  But after listening to it a few times and having in in the background while we were driving around, the lyrics stuck in our head and we were in love.  But isn’t that what happens with tons of chart breaking hits?  Not to mention the video is awesome! Enjoy it and let us know what you think!

sunnery james and ryan marciano

Their Facebook About section states The World’s Most Energetic House DJ Duoand we agree! Not only do Sunnery James and Ryan Marciano bring energy to the world of EDM-Electronic Dance Music, but they combine it with a love potion of sensuality and groove, conjuring up a revolutionary takeover to every set they spin.  They have been compared to Holland’s version of Swedish House Mafia and are quickly becoming contenders of their own.  Having already gained worldwide fame, they are quickly moving towards being one of the #1 DJ’s in the world.
