Welcome to the Festival Forecaster. 

What we're all about

There are many sites on the internet devoted to piecing together music festival lineups before they are officially announced. This site will try to distinguish itself by the quality of our insight, and the occasional intelligence we receive from select music business sources. To protect our methods, however, it will often be necessary to hide our gimmes among our guesses. Accept that we'll sometimes be wrong, and we hope you'll be rewarded with the best predictions going.

We will also go beyond the festival scene with the occasional early word on forthcoming concerts by major touring artists or at noteworthy venues. Our focus will be more narrow than comprehensive, however, and we will concentrate on simple presentations of the best predictions we can make, and the most novel news we can share. 

Coming soon

In a matter of days, we will release our initial lineup prediction for the first major event of the 2015 festival season, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. We intend for it it to be the best one available on the internet. Predictions for other major American music festivals will follow in the days, weeks, and months ahead. 

We're looking forward to getting started, and we hope you are too. Let's take it to the stage.
