Do you love the anticipation of waiting for the bass to drop in one of your favorite songs… LIVE? We do too! One of our favorite things about the summer is the abundance of large outdoor music festivals. Nothing quite beats the fresh air, blazing sun, your favorite artists, and 100,000 of your closest friends. There’s only one thing we love nearly as much as fine-tuning our revolutionary bone conduction headphones, and that’s the music that courses through them.
Settle in and get your AfterShokz Bluetooth headphones ready, we’re about to take you on a musical journey to some of the best summer music festivals that our country has to offer.
Electric Daisy Carnival – May 17, 18. New York. – June 21-23. Las Vegas.
If you fancy electronic dance music (EDM), then the Electronic Daisy Carnival (EDC) is THE electronic dance music festival for you!
Last year, EDC drew more than 300,000 people, making it the largest electronic music festival in North America. Check out the full artist lineup here, then fine-tune your fist pump with the EDC Playlist we’ve been rockin’ to by clicking on the Spotify icon to the right.
Bonnaroo – June 13-16 – Manchester, Tennessee.
Bonnaroo captures the true spirit of the outdoor music festival.

Camp Bisco – July 11-13 – Albany, New York.
