Festival season is finally back. With plenty of different genres, venues and artists, choosing which festival to go to can be just about as stressful as trying to successfully get your hands on a pair of tickets. No matter where you’re headed, we’ve rounded up some stellar music playlists for field, desert, country or warehouse (to name a few), and a bunch of outfit suggestions to suit each.
Read on to find out what’s on our YouTube music playlist this year.

Crochet is a must this season – pack a crochet two piece for weekend festival plans and pair with your trusty biker boots.
