As Ireland's only major festival this year, expectation is high and it looks as if Electric Picnic may just be about to rise to the challenge. With a fairly impressive lineup already confirmed, more acts have just been added to Stradbally for 2012. Along with some of popular music's biggest names we now have some of the most hotly tipped breakthrough acts of the last 12 months. Add to that a sprinkling of soul-stardom plus some of Ireland's national treasures and you'll hear very few people bemoan the absence of Oxegen this summer. The newest [...]
B3SCI land in SF on Friday to cover this weekend's awesome Outside Lands festival.

Check out some of our recommendations below for this weekend's can't miss sets and must see bands & artists; and stay tuned for more coverage live from and following [...]
Summertime is festival time, there’s no two ways about it. Music festivals, food festivals, wine festivals, art festivals; basically come up with any reason to gather a community of people outdoors and you’ve got yourself a festival. The secret to success lies in either A. being in a unique location (Govenor’s Island, Telluride CO), B. serving a unique community (Burning Man), C. having a stellar line-up (fill in the blank) or D. fusing various types of festivals into one big affair (Googa Mooga, anyone?). A festival that satisfies all [...]
Alynda Lee Segarra has a back story that sounds like it could be found in the pages of a Jack Kerouac novel. At the age of 17, she left her home in the Bronx and criss-crossed the country by hopping freight trains and found herself in playing the washboard in band of made up of fellow travelers called The Dead Man Street Orchestra . Segarra eventually landed herself in New Orleans, picked up the banjo, began writing her own music and formed her own band - Hurray For The Riff Raff . [...]
![[show review] Newport Folk Festival](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4436818_lg.jpg)
The Newport Folk Festival is a music festival built for music lovers. Steeped in history, it could almost get by on name alone. Almost. It tried that and failed somewhat when it found itself in debt and struggling to survive just a handful of years ago. But in the past few years it has been reinvigorated to the point that it is practically bursting open at the seams. The revival has coincided with and/or helped nurture a renaissance in young folk music around the country, and even across the globe, which has only helped to increase the buzz. It's a [...]

Every year, every festival in America claims to have the "best line up ever!" Well, San Francisco's Outside Lands Music Festival has made to its 5th year, and they really are going to have a seriously difficult time topping this year's event. Of course, this means that there are conflicts galore! You've got six stages [...]
Photo Credit: Luis Ruiz Despite fighting overcast days and torrential downpours, Newport Folk Festival still managed to achieve the desired effect — amaze viewers with a diverse, stellar lineup, quality production, and streamlined operations. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that the weather only enhanced some of the more somber or intense sets. Why not listen to The Tallest Man on Earth while standing in the rain or watch the boys in My Morning Jacket bounce around the stage as a storm rolls in? There’s also something to [...]
For the eighth time in a row, Lollapalooza returned to Chicago's Grant Park. While the festival has received its share of rain over the years (e.g. Billy Idol's mesmerizing sun shower set in 2005, The Gaslight Anthem's downpour debut in 2009, Best Coast's muddy power hour in 2011, to name a few), the grounds have never had to shut down . Yet with recent catastrophes at festivals worldwide, management took no chances and they made the right choice. Only three hours were ultimately lost and in those three hours something wild happened - there was a sense [...]

This long, hot, dry summer is coming to its end. So, it's time to look at those songs for your summer's end. Well, I almost didn't have a topic for this week's list. I just didn't think I had one in me. I don't know about anyone else, but this summer has [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Theo Wargo, Getty Images Those opposed to the urban set-up of Lollapalooza often bemoan the weekend-long festival's lack of outdoor campgrounds and accompanying "vibes." Little did they know that by the end of Lolla 2012's second day, they would receive a Bonnaroo-sized injection of mud -- as well as people making the absolute most of it. More on that in a moment. Saturday started innocently enough, [...]

In one year from today I will be getting married to a very nice woman. The party will be in the mountains at a heli-skiing lodge (pictured above). Here are a few songs that are leading the way out of the gates for our official wedding theme song. I probably won't get my way. 1. John Prine & Iris Dement - In Spite of Ourselves [...]
