2014 Music Festivals Announcement Round Up
Music festivals in America and abroad are beginning to hit critical mass. It's our generation's sign of approval to any artist if they find themselves on a bevy of festival lineups come summer, they're doing something right. Perhaps the most prevalent "music for the people" approach in the industry, festivals allow acts both large and small great opportunities for exposure and listeners the chance to attempt to take it all in. The spring/summer of 2014 is shaping up to be one of the largest festival seasons in recent memory and event organizers have wasted no time announcing jam-packed lineups that look more like an iTunes playlist than a real concert experience. We gathered together lineups from festivals from coast to coast and even beyond to give you the most full, in-depth guide to diving into festival season, check them all out on the following pages.
[Video] Big Boi Speaks Out on Outkast Reunion
The biggest music news story so far of 2014 is most definitely the larger-than-life announcement that Big Boi and Andre 3000 will assemble once again as Outkast as part of what seems to be a year-long reunion tour spanning over 40 festivals, indicative of the status quo of a music industry that is a much different environment than the one the duo exited stage left from 10 years ago, after their 11x platinum Speakerboxx/The Love Below became the second highest-selling hip-hop album of all time. Big Boi sits down with RevoltTV to discuss his longevity in the game and his excitement at linking back up with his old friend to re-live the music that made both of them stars in their own right. Check out what Big Boi has to say in the video below.
