Festival season is in full swing and us here at MTV News want to go to every music festival there is. So far, we've hit Hangout Festival and Mysterland heavily; next up is Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee.
Things kick off on Thursday and go all the way through Sunday, so, this weekend, we'll be soaking up the sounds of music's biggest and best names, as well as discovering some new acts, too. Here's who has us the most excited.
