Consequence of Sound‘s Festival Outlook is an online database featuring the latest news, rumors, and ticket information for the world’s many music festivals. Sometimes, though, it’s hard to keep up with everything. So, this is where our weekly recap feature comes in.
This past week brings lineup news for a number of 2012 European festivals, including Isle of Wight, Rock Werchter, Benicà ssim, Rock am Ring and Rock im Park, Pinkpop, Rock in Rio Lisbon, Nova Rock, Wacken Open Air, and Hellfest. In addition, Argentina’s Quilmes Rock festival revealed its 2012 bill.
And while we have your attention, please be sure to bookmark Festival Outlook and follow us on Twitter. That way, you’ll get more timely updates! And if you see something missing from one of the thousands of pages listed on Festival Outlook, please drop us a line, and we’ll fix it asap. Of course, tips are also welcome!
