This list is a comprehensive compilation of what our team's CL Craig put together, pulling from a wide range of musical genres with events taking place all over the domestic U.S. If you miss any of these this year, plan ahead for these annual gatherings.

Welcome to Rockville

Kicking the list off with an early starter we've got the behemoth of all rock music festivals, taking place in Daytona, Florida where headbangers will camp out between May 19th-May 21st.

The legends of rock are expected to have fans more than satisfied by a plethora of heavy metal, hard rock and everything in between. Rockville is an interesting event because there are multiple generations of Rock music icons participating on the lineup. As America's biggest rock festival we expect some monumental performances from the likes of Kiss, Korn, Five Finger Death Punch, Papa Roach, Breaking Benjamin, Megadeth, Skillet, Underoath, Black Label Society, We Came as Romans, Guns n Roses, Rise Against, In Flames, Alexisonfire, Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumpkins and many many more!

Untz Festival

Brown's Valley, California is about to get the royal treatment in cutting edge bass music on May 13th-15th at Sycamore Ranch. If you love dubstep, DNB, IDM, experimental bass and everything in between you'd better start planning for this major musical nexus. If you missd it, then keep an eye out for next year's lineup.

Celebrating it's 6th Anniversary, the Untz is returning to bring the best of underground bass music to the Sacramento and Bay area of Cali. Fans can expect late night sets, takeovers at various sound stages and plenty of other activities, such as yoga and workshops in between sets. Wormhole Productions and partners seem to have a firm grip on the top talent pushing this range of bass music. See the full lineup here on their site!

Lovers and Friends

An R&B music lovers dream come true. Lovers and Friends produced by Snoop Dogg and Live Nation Events will be a tremendous clash of soulful acts and R&B legends all taking place May 14th and 15th in Las Vegas, Nevada. Although the event is officially sold out, if you're savvy on social media or buy back apps you may still be able to score a ticket.

Either way we will be on the lookout for up coming years, assuming it becomes an annual affair. The lineup definitely delivers with a long list of the best in the business including Usher, Ludacris, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Lil Jon, T-Pain, Brandy, Monica, Genuine, Jodeci and many more.
