If you still don’t know what to give your concert-hopping friends for Christmas, you might want to help them save money for what’s to come.
The EDM “Dance-ember” fever gives way to indie, pop and punk awesomeness that marks the first quarter of 2014. What’s more, several mind-blowing music festivals are scheduled one after another; some of them will be held out of town, so be prepared to splurge not just on tickets but also on gas/travel expenses. Especially if you want to see Red Hot Chili Peppers that badly. (Then again, who doesn’t?)
