México en materia de festivales, al igual que en muchas otras más, no se ha caracterizado por ser un país que le da continuidad a sus proyectos que de manera inicial, pintan bastante bien bajo un concepto un tanto arriesgado para un lugar en el que hasta hace unos años era un poco 'imposible' presenciar shows de alta calidad como en otras partes del mundo. Es mas, desde 2005, puedo decir que se han realizado cerca de 15 festivales diferentes en la Ciudad de México, los cuales después de su tercera edición se han venido abajo aunque claro, todavía hay [...]
Photo Credit: Andrew St. Clair 21 years after its inception, Lollapalooza is a festival that does most things right. For quite a while, it's been in a very convenient area and has an excellent line-up, even compared with competing fests such as Bonnaroo, Coachella, and Outside Lands. When done right, a great festival includes bands for everyone, and Lollapalooza does this to near perfection. Among the headliners: Jack White and Red Hot Chili Peppers , Justice , Kaskade , Bassnecter and Santigold [...]
Photo By: Jordan DiCecca Osheaga has easily become the largest music festival in Canada. This year's fest on Parc Jean-Drapeau in belle Montreal, hosted a three day music festival to over 120,000 people. That's a huge jump from the 80,000 of 2011. It's a festival I have frequented for the past 4 years, and I prefer to the hot and dry backdrop of say, Bonnaroo or Coachella. So what were the highlights and lowlights of this year's Osheaga? Well, I'll begin by saying, I missed Justice and it's now on a [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Theo Wargo, Getty Images The third and final day of Lollapalooza 2012 felt like an adequate summation of the hot, wet and wild atmosphere that served to thrill and test exhausted concertgoers at Chicago's Grant Park all weekend. The now-legendary storm that forced Lolla organizers to make the unprecedented move of evacuating tens of thousands of fans on Saturday had left behind much to squish and [...]

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 [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Frank Yang Day one of the Osheaga Festival in Montreal kicked off yesterday with two Icelandic highlights, a nostalgic blast from the past and one redheaded festival goddess named Florence Welch . As the sun began to set rapidly at Parc Jean-Drapeau, Icelandic ambient rockers Sigur Ros took the stage armed with a set of hits as cinematic as the darkening sky itself. [...]

This post will be broken up in three, as the festival has now expanded to three days now. If you are reading this and wondering what the hell "Osheaga" is, well here's [...]

PS2010 | POCZTÓWKI | WIDEO | CZWARTEK | PIĄTEK | SOBOTA Po bezbłędnym czwartku i piątku jak malowanie przyszedł czas na sobotę, która jako najmniej napakowana delicjami dała chwilę wytchnienia, ale oprócz tego przyniosła kilka znakomitych koncertów.
