Coachella is the most talked-about and culturally dominant US festival. By attendance, Lollapalooza (400,000 over 4 days) and Austin City Limits (450,000 over 6 days) are larger. EDC Las Vegas draws the most people per event at 500,000 across 3 nights.
Bonnaroo (Tennessee) is the gold standard for US camping festivals: 700 acres, a village atmosphere, and the friendliest crowd in American music. Electric Forest (Michigan) is the best forest camping experience.
Coachella presale (October–November for April festival) sells out within hours. Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza early bird tickets (January–February) are fastest. Buy any major US festival ticket 4–8 months in advance for best availability and pricing.
