It’s always exciting to learn when new festivals are popping up and that seems to be happening a lot these days! I remember when I witnessed an incredible music festival in San Diego shut down when I had plans to attend it a second year. Budget cuts are the worst, but they out of everyone’s control especially to those who enjoy these music festivals the most. With that said, California is gaining another festivals after losing one several years back.

The First City Festival held in Monterey, California has an incredible lineup for its first year out including: Passion Pit, Beach House, Toro y Moi, Washed Out, Capital Cities, Electric Guest, Tennis, and many more. Want to learn more about the artists? Free People has provided a great playlist to get you all caught up in time for the big show in August.
