Spring is in the air.
The sun is shining (sort of), the birds are chirping and, after a dreary winter, festival season is finally in full swing.
And, sure, you know the biggies like Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Outside Lands and When We Were Young.
But let’s be honest. Everyone does. They’re the biggest festivals in North America.
However, each and every year, hundreds of multi-day musical extravaganzas bring major headliners like Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo and Zach Bryan to venues all over the U.S. and Canada from April through November.
Our team is here to bring visibility and shine a light on all of the biggest music festivals — including Coachella, Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo, because duh — you shouldn’t sleep on in 2025.
Better yet, many of these fests specialize in a number of genres. There’s multi-day metal headbanger balls, K-Pop jamborees, EDM get-togethers, Latin music celebrations, country hoedowns and so many more.
So, grab a lighter, bandana or whatever festival gear you hold near and dear and read on.
From April all the way to kick off the year to November, here are the 75 biggest North American music festivals in 2025.
