Austin may grab most of the festival headlines, but the Houston Free Press Summer Fest (June 6-7, 2015) puts out a solid mega-fest lineup each year. For this edition, they’ve tapped Skrillex, Weezer, Major Lazer, and the never controversial R. Kelly. Steve Angello, Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals, St. Vincent, Flume, The Decemberists, Belle & Sebastian, Mastodon, Chance The Rapper, Tears for Fears, and Band of Horses round out the large font names.
