Can you believe that advanced tickets for next year's Coachella have already sold out? And it only took about four hours! Tickets to big music festivals are selling out quicker than ever, so if you want a chance to get into one next summer, you need to start thinking about it now.

If festival fever has got you, you've got to act fast if you want a chance to go to one of the big shows next year.

Since it first started in 1999, Coachella has grown from an underground, one-day hippie fest in the desert, to a three-day, mainstream music festival held over two different weekends. In 2015 it grossed more than 84 million dollars.

But Coachella isn't the only travel-worthy fest drawing huge crowds. Here are three others.

Bonnaroo

The Bonnaroo music festival takes place on a 700 acre farm every year in Manchester, Tennessee — about an hour drive south of Nashville.

Since 2002, Bonnaroo has welcomed a bit of everything. Its dynamic lineup has included everyone from Elton John to the Wu-Tang Clan. It’s also got some unique offerings, like a Christmas-themed nightclub in a barn, a comedy theater and cinema.

June 8-11 are the dates for the 2017 festival, and tickets are on sale now — but they're going quick!

 

Ultra Music Festival

This festival is an electronic music fan's dream, welcoming hundreds of DJs from across the globe! In 2016, Miami welcomed 165,000 people over the course of three days! Early bird tickets are sold out, but there will be one last chance to grab tickets soon, you just have to check ultramusicfestival.com.

Outside Lands

Beyond the beautiful venue you can enjoy the best of wine country, Northern California's breweries, along with the art and music at the Outside Lands festival. Tickets for next summer's Outside Lands are expected to go on sale in March.
