This week the Sasquatch! Festival announced their 2012 lineup featuring some old favorites, like Jack White and Beck, as well as newer groups like Bon Iver.

The tenth incarnation of the fest, which will be held on Memorial Day Weekend (May 25-28) at The Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington, will also bring the laughs with comedy acts like Tenacious D, the Portlandia duo of Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein, and comedians Nick Kroll, Todd Barry, and Rob Delaney.

Four-day passes for Sasquatch! start at $315 (which includes standard camping) and go on sale Saturday, February 11, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. Also, for the first time this year, festival goers will be able to come and go with a wristband allowing re-entry to the festival grounds.

You, Robert Johnson’s ghost, and some live blues artists. Just what the doctor ordered.

Last time we were down in the Mississippi Delta we were getting stuck in on local radio, but now here’s a reason to go back down there (and it’s not even related to The Help).

This year is the 100th anniversary of the birth of father of the blues Robert Johnson; and to mark it, next weekend, the people of Greenwood are throwing a blues festival. Not only that, but it’s a festival right in the cottonfields next to where Johnson is purportedly buried.

The King of the Delta Blues 100th Anniversary Remembrance Festival takes place October 15-16 on Money Road, outside Greenwood and by the premises of the fabulous WABG radio station. The lineup includes Rory Block, Dr Feelgood Potts, Maria Muldaur and Bobby Rush, and there will be tributes to blues artists who died this year, like Honey Boy Edwards, Pinetop Perkins and Mississippi Slim. ]]> juliab 2011-10-05T14:48:16-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2011/6/16/62619/0317

The Big Chill, Lovebox, Bestival, Field Day: there's no shortage of festivals in the U.K. this summer, most of which are music-centric and attract hordes of dirty campers eager to slosh around in their Wellies à la Kate Moss. Creeping up in number and quality are food festivals, whose focus is on celebrating the best of regional cuisine and proving that there's much more to British cooking than the country's middling reputation suggests.]]> Heidi Atwal 2011-06-16T10:42:31-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2011/6/14/102452/393

While Lollapalooza has become a destination for music fans—who this year will trek out to Chicago this August 5 to 7 to see Eminem, Coldplay, Muse and the Foo Fighters for the 20th annual festival—it's also become an unlikely attraction for foodies.

Dubbed Chow Town, the food-fest-within-the-music-fest is returning for a second helping. Once again, MasterChef's Graham Elliot will curate the food offerings for Lolla and will bring more than 30 vendors to the three-day concert.]]> Jennifer Kester 2011-06-14T12:36:29-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2011/6/2/24533/66507

We're of two minds about Coachella, which is terribly convenient since there will be two Coachella festivals in 2012. Great—we can spend the first one enjoying the music and the scene, and follow it by spending the second one hating on it and making snide remarks about the Urban Outfitters-wearing masses passed out next to half-spun Dreamcatchers. Two Coachella fests means more options for festivalgoers, with more money for musicians and the event's company, but will it be a good idea in practice?

Coachella has come to be known as the Woodstock of the Apple generation, even though more and more corporations have carved out a little piece for themselves in recent years (example: H&M has a huge tent with entire collection previews). A single festival means one focus, one big blowout, one long weekend of overpriced hotel rooms or house rental and hopefully only one vacation day requested off at work to attend. ]]> JetSetCD 2011-06-02T14:27:44-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2011/5/17/95159/1424

It seems like only yesterday that South by Southwest took over Austin, but already it's time to start prepping for Austin City Limits. The 10th anniversary music festival is set to hit Zilker Park September 16 to 18, but single-day tickets go on sale today at 10 a.m. CST.

All of the three-day passes have sold out, so this is your only opportunity to snag tickets to see such acts Stevie Wonder, Arcade Fire, Kanye West—is there an event that this guy doesn't perform?—Coldplay, My Morning Jacket, Cee Lo, Fleet Foxes, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Nas and Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley, Bright Eyes, Empire of the Sun, Cut Copy, Santigold and Social Distortion.]]> Jennifer Kester 2011-05-17T15:54:20-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2011/4/26/13746/8856

It's 80 degrees in New York and today's two hot topics are where to go for an al fresco lunch and whether or not the just-released Lollapalooza 2011 line-up is worth a trip to Chicago or not. We're here to answer in the affirmative, because—trust us—Chicago is the summer, with live concerts next to the lake and street festivals, is awesome.

Speaking of the line-up, however, there are chances that it might not yet be complete. This is the 20th Anniversary of Lolla and thus expect some special appearances and performances not listed on the bill. Here's who is on the bill (and how to get tickets) for the August 5-7 events: ]]> JetSetCD 2011-04-26T10:53:10-05:00 Search Jaunted string http://www.jaunted.com/search/
