Top 5 Summer Music Festival Experiences

Camp Bisco 2008 was my first introduction to the EDM scene. I've always been more into the live music part of festivals, but after this I had a new found respect for the talents of EDM guys like Skrillex and Bassnectar. The highlight of the weekend was the long set by Snoop Dog... he rocked it.

I joined a few friends from high school who had making the yearly trip to West Virginia the previous few summers. 9 hours in the car, proved to be worth it. The music and weather were amazing. I also returned to All Good in 2005.

I go to the Gathering of the Vibes every summer. Highlights from recent years include sets by Jane's Addiction, Elvis Costello and The Black Crowes. The Vibes is a big Deadhead family reunion and takes place at Seaside Park in Bridgeport, CT.

I went to Mountain Jam 2007 with a large group of friends. We got a condo this year, which is more luxury than I'm used to at a festival. We got spoiled with a pool and indoor plumbing. My MJ 2007 experience is a close second only to Bonnaroo.

I'm a firm believer everyone should experience Bonnaroo at least once in your life. Music from all different genres are represented, there is literally something for everyone. Highlights from my Bonnaroo trip include, late-night Nine Inch Nails, Phish, Public Enemy, Cage The Elephant and The Beastie Boys final performance
