Round out the festival season with the 2013 Music Midtown Festival! Held in Atlanta, GA, this festy has been around since 1994—but not without the same financial problems that seem to plague other large music gatherings (like Rothbury and Nateva).

As a rock band, The Neighbourhood is somewhat of a contradiction. The five-piece, SoCal-based group have been climbing the alt charts since they began releasing music last year.

Disclosure does not want to be labeled. At least, that’s what the pair of brothers – Guy and Howard Lawrence (ages 22 and 19, respectively) - told thestoolpigeon.co.uk in a 2010 interview. Of course, this was back when they only had four songs out and were still relative unknowns in the UK and the States.
