The Top 5 Music Festivals Of Summer 2017

Whether you're at a music festival with a group of friends, family, or twitter followers, it's always bound to be an amazing experience (unless you're at Fyre Festival). However, one vital component to truly enjoy a music festival is the lineup.

From indie folk to hip-hop, Music Festivals are for everybody under the sun, and here is my personal opinion on the best lineups in 2017

5. Austin City Limits

Austin City Limits is usually limited to Texas natives, and a few who would like to travel to Texas. Austin City Limits is in Zilker Park, a 12 minute drive away from beautiful University of Texas at Austin. The lineup consists of various well-known rappers (Jay Z, Chance the Rapper, A$AP Ferg, D.R.A.M.) and a healthy mix of rock and indie (The Killers, The Head and the Heart, and Gorillaz). Even if you don't enjoy the lineup, there's bounds more in the city to explore.

4. Bonnaroo

"The Farm" is the location referenced to when talking about Bonnaroo. Only an hour away from University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, many college students from there and afar will come to experience the atmosphere of the barn. With performers such as Travis Scott, Lorde, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, it's bound to be a fantastic time at "The Farm".


3. Boston Calling


Boston Calling is on this list because of both the scenery and the lineup. Even though it is one of the lesser known music festivals, Boston Calling's lineup still packs a punch. Mumford & Sons and Cage the Elephant headline the rock and roll aspect of the festival, while Chance the Rapper follows right behind with the hip hop aspect. This lineup is meant for more of those "indie-rocker" type people. Meanwhile, you can also explore the beautiful campus of Harvard University and the city of Boston, Massachusetts.


2. Coachella


Coachella, the pinnacle of all music festivals, where can be sure to encounter familiar faces such as Kylie Jenner and Drake. Set in sunny SoCal, Coachella is one of the most scenic festivals out there. However, the only downside is that the closest major campus is University of California at Los Angeles, which is still a hefty two and a half hours away. However, a packed lineup with Travis Scott, Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar, and various others may make the $400 for a general admission ticket worth it.

1. Hangout Festival


Hangout Festival, in my opinion, is the single best music festival. With Mumford and Sons at the helm of the ship, Frank Ocean, Chance the Rapper, and MGMT all make this festival worth coming to. With scenery right next to the ocean, it serves as a much better backdrop then just palm trees and sunshine. Also, only a few hours away from a popular spring break spot, Panama City Beach, it serves as an alternative to the party-crazed town.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
