As midterm season comes to an end, a much more enjoyable time is approaching. We’re about a month away from Coachella, the festival that is basically a holiday here in Los Angeles. Headlined this year by record-breaking singer Ariana Grande along with many others great performers, it will surely be a great weekend in Palm Springs this April. But, if you won’t be making it out to Coachella valley this year, or just want to take in more music, here’s some more music experiences to take part in this spring.

Electric Daisy Carnival

Taking place in Las Vegas this May 17-19, EDC is legendary in the world of electronic music. This year’s festival theme is energy, and from all looks of it the festival will not disappoint in this department. The festival touts so many acts I couldn’t even tell you which to be most excited for, so check it out for yourself this spring!

Lightning in a Bottle

This festival will take place right in California at Buena Vista Lake this May 8-13. An original option because of its focus not only on music but also on life and sustainability, this year’s festival headliners include Santigold, Flying Lotus, Big Gigantic and Disclosure.

Beachlife Festival

If you want to stay close to the beach while you enjoy your favorite tunes, why not head to Redondo beach May 3-5 for this Year’s Beachlife Festival. Artists including Bob Weird and the Wolf Bros, Brian Wilson and Willie Nelson and Family will be present, and if you want an unique experience try attending from a boat with the boat mooring option!

Beyond Wonderland

If you don’t even want to wait until April or May to head to a festival, you’re in luck! Beyond Wonderland takes place March 22 and 23 this year with acts including Armin Van Buuren, Deadmau5, Aly & Fila, Bijou and so many more.

Whether you make it to all of these festivals, a few or none at all, check out the artists as they are sure to offer some great playlist additions. Wherever you choose to spend your spring, have fun and enjoy some amazing music!
