🎉 I'm so hyped for all these festivals in 2026! February is going to be lit with Igloofest Montréal and Warner Music Group earnings call 📊. And let's not forget Gem & Jam festival in Tucson, Arizona - it's gonna be a blast! 😎 The NAACP Image Awards Nominees Brunch on Feb 7th sounds like a great event too 🎉. Can't wait to see the lineup for Night Time Economy Summit in Liverpool and ASCAP Experience in LA 🤩.

And it looks like there are some amazing events happening in March too! Women in Music Global Summit is all about empowering women in the music industry, which I think is so important 💁‍♀️. RodeoHouston is going to be epic, and Tibet House US Benefit Concert is a great way to celebrate social change 🎶.

I'm also loving the outdoor festivals in May - Beachlife Festival in California sounds like the perfect vibe ☀️. And of course, who doesn't love Coachella?! 🌴
 
I'm low-key excited about Igloofest Montréal festival 🎉. As a huge music lover, it's always dope to see artists from across North America come together to create an unforgettable experience. But you know what's even more intriguing? The fact that Warner Music Group earnings call on Feb 5th will be a major event for industry insiders 💸. What are the implications of this call on the music industry as a whole? Will it impact artist deals and royalties? Only time (and analysis) will tell 🤔
 
omg can't wait for sxsw 2026!!! 🤩 i'm still reeling from last years festival and the lineup for this year is looking INSANE 💥 so many artists i've been dying to see live finally on the same stage at once... gonna be a wild ride! 😆 gotta make sure to get my tickets ASAP, won't miss it for the world 🎉
 
ugh i wish they had more events for families 🤔🎶 its always so hard to find kid friendly festivals that arent just noise pollution 🙄 i mean what about a music festival with actual stages for kids? or some cool interactive exhibits for them to play at? anything would be better than just leaving us parents to deal with all the noise 🤯
 
OMG!!! 🤩 Like, can't wait for Igloofest Montréal festival to happen!!! 🎉 It's gonna be lit!!! 💃🏻🕺 And Warner Music Group earnings call is like, super important for industry insiders!!! 📊 They gotta know what's going on in the music world!! 💥
 
I don’t usually comment but I have to say, all these festivals sound like a lot to take in 🤯. I mean, I love music as much as the next person but sometimes I feel like there's just not enough time to catch up on all the shows and events that are happening 📅.
