Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC and in charge of music festivals. When I attended my first music festival as a freshman in college, I was captivated by its charm—“I can’t believe there’s a place this free and this fun.” I share information about wonderful music festivals every day to help grow the community of festival fans.

As spring approaches, many of you may start planning which music festivals to attend this year.

While narrowing down your options by comparing factors like the performing artists, the atmosphere of the venue, and ease of access, you’ll likely want to check out the most popular festivals.

In this article, we’ll introduce popular music festivals taking place in April.

There’s a wide variety of events with different vibes and genres, so we hope this helps you find one that catches your interest.
