summer festival rundown

in case you couldn’t tell, we here at free people love music festivals.  we saw a ton of free people girls at coachella and it definitely got us thinking about ways we can be more involved with festivals in the future. up next is sasquatch, set in a stunningly beautiful gorge in washington state that might have the prettiest stage backdrop i’ve seen yet.

there are always a few select bands making the festival rounds too.  this year the XX, the national, phoenix, local natives and black keys seem to be hitting up quite a few.  read more for a brief look at what’s coming up this summer and some of the top acts you’ll catch at each festival (although there are really too many to list)!
