STURGIS REVS UP, HARD SUMMER BOOGIES DOWN

The summer festival season offers virtually every type of experience imaginable for the adventurous attendee, but if motorcycles are more your thing, cruise on over to the Sturgis Rally Buffalo Chip Gathering, which kicks up dust 8/2-11 in South Dakota.

Half a million bikers and other open-road enthusiasts will roar into the small town of Sturgis for the annual rally, with talent featuring Jelly Roll (pictured, CAA), Kid Rock (WME) and Travis Tritt (Reliant Talent).

The 8/2 kickoff party will boast a motorcycle parade, stunt trials and a performance by the winner of a Battle of the Bands contest. If you’d be so kind, send us a selfie with Bret Michaels.

If you find yourself further north, you may be tempted by Osheaga, which brings Noah Kahan (Wasserman), Green Day (CAA) and SZA (Wasserman) to Parc Jean-Drapeau on Saint Helen’s Island near downtown Montreal 8/2-4. Those in the know often visit the event as much for its backstage culinary delights as its music. Poutine, anyone?

For those in Los Angeles this weekend, Hard Summer comes calling 8/3-4 with the EDM stylings of Disclosure (Wasserman), Fisher and Major Lazer (Wasserman), among many others. Party on, doooood.
