The fashion of a big time summer music festival is a unique beast [See: The Mank]. Part form, part function, each individual fest will display a style that's all its own, and while some are more terrifying than others, they're all worth exploring. Thanks to this flickr pool, we now have an opportunity to break down the style of HARD Summer Music Festival. Let's see what we find. More»

When we talk about summertime mega music festivals, people are most likely to think of Chicago's Lollapalooza as the big ticket of this past weekend. And for good reason: anytime you can throw a party that the hackiest celebrity chef in the universe can describe as "so the bomb dot com," you've gotta go ahead and do that. But you didn't have to leave Los Angeles this weekend to hit a crazy all-day music party, as Duck Sauce, Chromeo, Ratatat, Skrillex, OFWGKTA and others proved by headlining the Hard Summer Music Festival on Saturday at the L.A.

While thousands of music-loving youngsters tore up Grant Park having a sloppy good time with their favorite artists, the music scene in the Hamptons was a bit on the quiet side. While we love the outdoor concerts at Surf Lodge, they don't quite hold a match to last weekend's scene at Lollapalooza. MORE>>>
