"The height of festival season is no doubt summertime, but lineups and tickets start dropping in the fall, ahead of the coming year. For the most devout weekend warriors, that means any time you're not camped out in the parking lot of a stadium or fairgrounds, you're busy plotting your next trip. Event organizers like to stretch the season, too."
"PBR's rock 'n' roll waterfront weekend has been back for a few years now (the fest and its giant, beer-drinking unicorn disappeared for a few years at the end of the 2010s). It consistently draws bona fide rock stars of yore (Iggy Pop, DEVO) and indie rockers of the moment (Big Thief, Japanese Breakfast). The lineup usually drops toward the end of winter."
Festival season peaks in summer, but lineup and ticket releases begin in the fall ahead of the coming year. Devoted attendees plan trips anytime they are not at a stadium or fairgrounds. Event organizers stretch the season by starting indoor shows in January. The season runs about nine months, taking advantage of late-September weather. Offerings range from raves in fields to world-class Bach recitals. Schedules include lineup drops and ticket on-sale dates. PBR's rock 'n' roll waterfront weekend returns in late July at Gov. Tom McCall Waterfront Park, drawing rock legends and current indie acts.
