This project here is going to work the same way it does every year, I have published a half year of 2027 announced dates with the festivals that have 2026 dates, that have not transpired. During this year I am going to keep an eye on the ones that have happened like ROMP and Luck Reunion. This is a year long undertaking that I lovingly take on every month for everyone’s benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In today’s current times, there are so many different avenues of keeping up with all of the lineups and playlists for all of these different festivals that feature many of these same bands we love on here. I try my ardent best to include all of these lists and links for every different festival that I follow in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
