Keep track of the most anticipated music fests with the guide below – including dates, featured artists, locations and links to buy tickets.  Additionally, a few smaller festivals are listed in this guide to free New York summer 2014 concerts.

Can’t make it to Bonnaroo? Check out the webcast schedule here.

2014 festival news started with line-up announcements back in January. In February we decoded Roo Clues, and found out the official roster during the BLAM! webcast (that included a Flaming Lips/ Ben Folds superjam with new songs). That’s in addition to a slew of announcements from other fests (and the onset of feeling Beck was going to be THE festival headliner of 2014) …(St. Vincent, Eminem, The Replacements and OutKast too!)

March, April, May and June brought us more announcements – and a few webcasts (like Hangout and Mountain Jam). The most recent pre-Bonnaroo news is here.

The top upcoming fests are below, followed by listings of 2014 festivals that have already passed at the bottom. If you’re interested in seeing all the fests a particular artist was booked for in the guide below, press Ctrl-F and enter their name.
