Summer 2015: The Summer of the Music Festivals

by Ryan Johnston
For many students at WMHS, an absolutely smashing summer is expected after this laborious and never ending school year. Luckily for everyone, you can start off your summer by attending some of the most amazing music festivals in the world, including local festival, Boston Calling. Other music festivals that will be taking place this summer include the following: Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Firefly.

For those only interested in staying local, you can attend the very popular festival, Boston Calling. Boston Calling will be featuring some new popular artists of all genres, including but not limited to Beck, Vance Joy, Pixies, and Tove Lo. This festival takes place during May 22nd, 23rd, 24th and is expected to be full of life and party as always. Boston Calling is sure to be a good way to end your spring, giving you that final push to transition into summer. 

A second musical festival which is sure to be a blast is Firefly. Firefly will allow you to have a more summer sensation due to the fact that it takes place from June 18th to June 21st, which is the tail-end of the school year. The festival is sure to be a blast with the magnificent lineup with bands including Foster the People, The Killers, Cage the Elephant, Modest Mouse, Empire of the Sun, and many more fantastic bands. It is unlikely that many Woburn residents will be able to attend due to the fact that the festival takes place in Delaware, however if the opportunity to attend comes your way, take it, it is bound to be a fabulous time!  

To end off the summer, the critically acclaimed “Lollapalooza” is being held in Chicago. This is a great event to attend to close out the summer with a bang, with the fabulous lineup of both popular, and newly emerging bands, you are bound to have a great time while there. This festival takes place from July 31st to August 2nd. As a treat for The Beatles fans out there in WMHS, you will have the treat of being able to see Paul McCartney headline in the festival, performing some of the timeless classics. The lineup for Lollapalooza includes but is not limited to Twenty One Pilots, Of Monsters and Men, Sam Smith, Charli XCX, The Wombats, and Marine and the Diamonds.  

If any WMHS students out there are looking for a wild summer, and have the means of transportation and funds to attend these festivals, it is highly recommended that you go! You are guaranteed to have a good time and have a summer experience to brag about to everyone else who was back here in Woburn sitting around and sweating.
