For all you music lovers, summer is the time to kick back, relax and go to a concert. This summer, there are so many festivals and concerts that it's hard to choose which to go to -- if only our bank accounts were able to send us to them all. Here's a list of some of this summer's biggest shows in the New York/New Jersey area.
1. Governor's Ball
This year's lineup includes Kanye West, The Killers, Mac Miller, Beck and so many more. The three-day festival is June 3-5 and is held at Randall's Island Park, New York.
2. Summer Sixteen Tour
Drake and Future are touring the country this summer, and there are four shows at Madison Square Garden. The dates range from Aug. 4-8 and, although the tickets are sold out, you may just be lucky enough to get your hands on re-sale tickets.
3. Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC)
EDC is returning to New York, and is being held back at Citi Field this year. This two-day festival is from May 14-15 and features multiple stages, artwork and rides. For all electric music lovers, it's a place of unity and celebration.
