Not long to go, peeps.

Which are your favourite festivals? What makes them special? Do you go for the music and the acts? Or do you go to be with your mates? To get sloshed and end up in a ditch? Or is it all of those things?

I want to know - please send me your thoughts either via Instagram or email - nicole@rockculture.net

If you’re a person who travels, which countries do you think pull off the best festivals and why?

Rockculture are particularly fond of Rock im Park and Rock Werchter. Both always have incredible line-ups and the hospitality is good. This year we’re also looking to attend some British festivals, like Lytham Festival, so watch this space.

The line ups for these festivals are insane - Babymetal, Dogstar, Green Day, Corey Taylor, Machine Head, While She Sleeps, Queens of the Stone Age - dude! that’s only Nuremberg! Werchter have Foo Fighters headlining and Lytham Festival have Madness, Rick Astley, James and Johnny Marr.

Here’s some photos from some of our faves from last year’s Rock im Park which was epic, to say the least.

What better way to kick off the festival season than to fly to Boston?

Boston Calling has been an institution for decades, starting off as a tiny venue and evolving into a huge spectacle with four stages.

Local acts have always had their place and new artists will always get a chance to perform. With Boston being the home of Berklee College of Music, the competition will always be tough but it’s a delight to see the variety of talent each year.

We’ve come to explore but also to see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. It’s been too long.

We may be extremely excited to see the Foo Fighters, too. Their new drummer Josh Freese will absolve his probatory time during the next few gigs. With his resume of drumming for A Perfect Circle, The Vandals and Devo, I think he’ll be alright.

Saturday brings us many more acts, though we have come for Alanis Morissette. She is a queen. Full stop.

And Sunday we end with Queens of the Stone Age and Paramore, though we are also intrigued to see King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - it will take magic for us to fly from stage to stage.

Following Boston we are intending to attend Rock im Park. The line up looks promising. For now, Boston is Calling.
