Summer is upon and just like that, so is festival season. Just this weekend, the likes of Fairgrounds, Meredith and Pleasure Garden are taking over festival grounds all around the country. Every year it seems like the festival list gets bigger, the line-ups more star-studded and the FOMO more all-consuming.
