Loll Around A powerhouse of a linuep (Jack White, The Black Keys, Florence + the Machine) awaits at Chicago’s Lollapalooza. Chug a Red Bull and hit after-shows like Frank Ocean and Calvin Harris (August 3-5).
	Golden Girl This one’s ecofriendly. San Francisco’s Outside Lands hosts Foo Fighters, Beck, and Stevie Wonder in Golden Gate Park. Plus, get a taste of the Bay Area and its wines (August 10-12).
	Jazz Hands Get cultured seaside at the Newport Jazz Festival in Rhode Island. A jumpin’ Preservation Hall Jazz Band, saxophonist Chris Potter, and singer Dianne Reeves are just a few of our picks (August 3-5).
	Street Beat Hard Summer in downtown Los Angeles brings the noise, thanks to Skrillex, Bloc Party, and Miike Snow. Our advice? Go hard or go home (August 3 and 4).
	BK in the House Immerse yourself in the DIY aesthetic of Brooklyn’s Afropunk Festival. Not-to-miss acts include Erykah Badu, Janelle Monae, Das Racist, and Toro y Moi (August 25 and 26).
