Summer’s fast approaching and with that comes summer music festivals. Whether you’re working all summer but looking for a few quick weekend getaways or you’re planning on taking some time to strictly enjoy yourself this summer, here are a few summer music festivals to get you in the summer mood.
CMA Fest
If country music is your jam, CMA Fest is where you need to be. It’s a four day festival celebrating all things country music in the country music capital, Nashville. CMA Fest is June 8-11 at Nissan Stadium and its stars include Luke Bryan, Luke Combs, Jason Aldean, Eric Church, Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert and Tim McGraw. A four day pass starts around $600, but if you only want to attend a single day, those are also available currently. If you’re a country music fan and around Nashville, check it out.
Watershed
If you can’t make it to Nashville in June, Watershed takes place in George, Washington and is the biggest camping and country music festival in the Northwest. The three day festival is August 4-6 and the stage overlooks the Columbia River, providing a gorgeous backdrop for your favorite country music stars. Fans can expect to see Keith Urban, Luke Bryan, Carly Pearce, Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson and more. Watershed passes start at $250, but if you’re planning on camping, you’ll need to purchase your camping spots separately.
