Bonnaroo is probably the most eco-friendly festival ever, and generally features acts who feel strongly about the environment. The line-ups are always incredible, including monumental names in the industry. Currently you can even catch acts as diverse as Dave Matthews Band and Billy Idol, whose sneer still drives the audience wild. It takes place in the late spring and early summer, so get tickets while you still can.

Washington State is a beautiful locale, and not only do the locals know how to party, they're always so happy to see visitors—especially music lovers. It's a trendier festival that employs some of the hottest indie acts, so if you love the hipster vibe heard in songs from acts like Bon Iver and Silversun Pickups, you'll love Sasquatch, which takes place in May.

SXSW, or South by Southwest, takes place in Austin, Texas, and its best known for its enormous line-ups. This festival brings in so many musical acts, it's worth staying the whole five days to see as many as possible. You'll routinely see acts like Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Tegan and Sara, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Iggy and the Stooges, and many others.

Taking place in March, Ultra is always a big draw, in part because it spreads its shows over two different weekends. The festival loves to surprise its audiences as well, so you never know who might grace the stage. The crowd is also incredibly diverse, and the music really celebrates a lot of techno, with acts like Fatboy Slim, deadmau5, and Skrillex frequently featured.

Get Wacky at Warped Tour

Since Warped Tour is, of course, a tour, chances are good it's coming to a city near year. If you love alternative music with a punk flair, this is the festival for you. Bands and musical acts are always awesome, so you'll find classic favorites like Green Day and New Found Glory alongside trendier acts like Blood on the Dance Floor and Rise Against.

There really is a music festival for everyone, especially in the spring when the weather gets warm and people are eager to get out of their homes. What's your dream line-up at any festival?
