Jazz is alive and well, especially when New orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival is treating fans to a massive lineup of talented artists across several generations. With two four-day weekends’ worth of action, there’s not much else jazz enthusiasts coudl ask for.
6. Rolling Loud USA (May 8-10)
Rolling Loud has delivered good lineups year after year,especially for the younger rap fans. While the California festival usually takes place in March and Miami tends to close out the year, organizers announced in January that 2026 will see its next U.S. edition take place at Orlando’s Camping World Stadium in May.Headliners include Don Toliver, Playboi Carti, and NBA YoungBoy.
“With Orlando, we’re able to be more accessible for fans, expand our footprint, and think long-term. Rolling loud has always been about meeting the culture where it’s going, not where it’s been,” co-founder Matt Zingler said of the decision to move away from Miami.
7. Primavera Sound (June 3-7)
With Doja Cat, PinkPantheress, and Little Simz – who REVOLT highlighted in its round-up of female rappers from the U.K. – on the lineup, Primavera Sound is shaping up to be a pretty exciting option for anyone planning to attend the Barcelona-based festival. It’s scheduled for June, which is the perfect excuse to book that summer vacation.
8. Governors Ball (june 5-7)
Governors Ball 2026 is headed back to Flushing Meadows Corona Park, where A$AP Rocky, Baby Keem, and Kali Uchis will lead the bill from June 5 to June 7. Other acts set to perform include Clipse, Mariah the Scientist, Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist, and Ravyn Lenae, along with a handful of additional artists.

Plus, Mariah the Scientist and alt-pop star Rachel Chinouriri are on the bill. It doesn’t get much better than this, especially in Tennessee.
