Print How will it feel to finally part a festival gate for the first time in 2021? Relief? Trepidation? Absolute unbridled exuberance to be seeing music, any music, on a stage in the sun again? With California now halfway to being vaccinated and — fingers crossed — all COVID-19 trends pointing in good directions here, a number of the area’s marquee festivals have booked lineups, set dates and started selling tickets for summer and fall events. The state’s June 15 reopening is proceeding as scheduled, so if you’re comfortable making music and travel plans, there are scores of festivals within a day’s drive of L.A. that will be thrilled to have you back.
