Music Festivals

More than 80 acts will play the annual event in Australia's Byron Bay.

Oliver Sim of The xx says the band is already making progress on the follow-up to 2012's "Coexist." "We started writing and we're currently trying to write on the road, which is something we've never been able to do."

Paul McCartney is adding to his busy summer with top-billing at the Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival, which will take root in San Francisco's sprawling Golden Gate Park from August 9 - 11. For his first time at OSL, the former Beatle will be joined by festival staples Red Hot Chili Peppers, Phoenix, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and a resurgent Nine Inch Nails, among many others.

With 190 bands spread across six different stages, it was literally impossible to see every act that performed during Coachella 2013's first weekend. But that didn’t stop us from trying.

At the tail end of a Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival that was relatively scarce on hip-hop, the reunited and re-energized Wu-Tang Clan made up for the lack of a headliner like Jay-Z, Kanye West or Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg at the 2013 fest.

The second day of Coachella 2013 turned up the desert heat with a jam-packed lineup of 65 bands that covered a staggering spectrum of sounds.
