However, this is my favorite time of year, not only is January my birthday month, but it is also music festival lineup season!<\/p>\n<p>Some of the biggest ones were released this week and they are bringing the big guns. Two of the biggest ones, <a title=\"http:\/\/hangoutmusicfest.com\/\" href=\"\/blog\/Hangout%20Festival\">Hangout<\/a> and <a title=\"Bonnaroo\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bonnaroo.com\/\">Bonnaroo<\/a>, mixed it up with headliners from <a title=\"Foo Fighters\" href=\"http:\/\/www.foofighters.com\/\">Foo Fighters<\/a> to <a title=\"Billy Joel\" href=\"http:\/\/www.billyjoel.com\/\">Billy Joel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The acts that get me shaking with excitement are the return of <a title=\"Ben Harper &amp; The Innocent Criminals\" href=\"http:\/\/www.benharper.com\/\">Ben Harper &amp; The Innocent Criminals<\/a> as well as <a title=\"Mumford &amp; Sons\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mumfordandsons.com\/\">Mumford &amp; Sons<\/a>. Both music groups took time off to pursue other opportunities but have rejoined forces for Gen Y&#8217;s version of Woodstock aka Bonnaroo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">However, one the best things about these festivals is witnessing the up-and-coming, smaller acts. These musicians or bands play their hearts out and bring an authenticity that only music festival virgins possess.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I cannot wait to see the rest of 2015&#8217;s festival lineups, but what about you?
