The Best U.S. Music Festivals of 2025, from Lollapalooza to Ohana Fest

The Best U.S. Music Festivals of 2025, from Lollapalooza to Ohana Fest

Dust off your denim shorts, secure your stadium-approved bags and stack up your coins — because this year’s best music festivals feature some of the most standout lineups we’ve seen in years. While we love hitting dedicated artist tours (and there are so many great ones coming up!), there’s no better bang for your buck than attending a full festival filled with your favorite artists, all in one place.

Though Coachella, Stagecoach and New York’s Gov Ball are in the rearview mirror, there are still plenty of events to catch this festival season. Lollapalooza takes over Grant Park in Chicago from July 31 to Aug. 3, San Francisco’s Outside Lands returns from Aug. 8 to 10 and Louder Than Life’s metal mania is from Sept. 18 to 21, to name just a few summer and fall happenings.

Looking for last-minute ticket deals? Whether you’re headed to Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo or beyond, sites such as TicketNetwork, Vivid Seats and SeatGeek are offering exclusive promo codes for The Hollywood Reporter readers:
