From EDM in Las Vegas and rock in Daytona Beach to country in Austin, hip-hop in Orlando and wine-country music in Napa, the month offers a wide range of festival options for fans looking to make late plans.
This year’s May festival calendar includes BeachLife Festival in Redondo Beach, RiverBeat in Memphis, iHeartCountry Festival in Austin, Rolling Loud Orlando, Welcome to Rockville, EDC Las Vegas, BottleRock Napa Valley and Lightning in a Bottle. Lineups feature major names including Duran Duran, The Offspring, James Taylor, Dave Matthews Band, Wu-Tang Clan, Luke Bryan, Playboi Carti, NBA YoungBoy, Guns N’ Roses, Foo Fighters, My Chemical Romance, The Chainsmokers, Zedd, Backstreet Boys, Lorde and Empire of the Sun.
For fans still deciding where to go, Ticket Club’s current festival ticket data shows a wide range of pricing across May events. Some festivals offer lower get-in prices for single-day access, while major multi-day events such as BeachLife, BottleRock, EDC Las Vegas and Lightning in a Bottle are showing stronger premium-market pricing.
Last-Minute Value: iHeartCountry Festival Starts at $78
One of the most affordable last-minute festival options in the current Ticket Club data is the iHeartCountry Festival in Austin. The May 2 event at Moody Center features Kane Brown, Parker McCollum, Riley Green, Shaboozey, Dylan Scott, Russell Dickerson, Gretchen Wilson, Chase Matthew and Lauren Alaina, with Luke Bryan also added to the lineup.
With a current get-in price of $78 and an average ticket price of $228, iHeartCountry Festival stands out as one of the clearest budget-friendly options for fans looking for a major May music event without committing to a full weekend festival.
Best Rock Festival Options: Welcome to Rockville
Welcome to Rockville is one of the biggest rock events on the May calendar, returning to Daytona International Speedway from May 7 to 10. The four-day lineup is led by Guns N’ Roses, Foo Fighters, Bring Me The Horizon and My Chemical Romance, with more than 160 artists scheduled across the weekend.
For last-minute buyers, Welcome to Rockville offers several ways in. The four-day pass currently starts at $238, while single-day tickets are available at lower entry points. Sunday, headlined by My Chemical Romance, currently has the lowest get-in price among the listed Rockville dates at $129. Friday and Saturday both start at $135, giving fans a more affordable route if they are targeting one specific day rather than the full festival.
Rolling Loud Orlando Brings Strong Hip-Hop Demand
Rolling Loud Orlando is set for May 8 through 10 at Camping World Stadium, with Playboi Carti, YoungBoy Never Broke Again and Don Toliver leading the lineup. The Orlando festival is especially notable because organizers have said it will be Rolling Loud’s only United States festival in 2026.
Current Ticket Club pricing reflects that demand. Three-day passes start at $303, with an average price of $486. Single-day tickets are currently higher, with Friday starting at $398, Saturday at $408 and Sunday at $359. For fans looking to attend Rolling Loud at the last minute, the three-day pass may be the stronger value compared with buying a single day.
EDC Las Vegas Remains a Premium Festival Weekend
EDC Las Vegas returns May 15 to 17 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, bringing one of the biggest EDM festival weekends of the year to Nevada. The lineup includes more than 250 artists, with names such as The Chainsmokers, Subtronics, Kaskade, Steve Aoki, Tiësto and Zedd among the acts expected to draw major fan interest.
The three-day EDC Las Vegas pass currently starts at $212, but the average ticket price is much higher at $1,157, reflecting premium and VIP-level inventory in the market. Saturday is the standout date by price, with tickets starting at $815 and averaging $1,264. Fans looking for a lower last-minute entry point may want to compare Friday and full-weekend listings before buying.
BottleRock Napa Valley Has High-End Demand, But Single-Day Options Remain
BottleRock Napa Valley returns May 22 to 24 at Napa Valley Expo with Foo Fighters, Lorde, LCD Soundsystem, Backstreet Boys, Teddy Swims, Zedd, Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Bush and more. The festival also pairs its music lineup with wine, craft beer, culinary programming and the Williams Sonoma Culinary Stage.
BottleRock’s three-day pass is one of the highest-priced May festival options in the current Ticket Club data, starting at $489 with an average price of $2,475. However, fans looking for last-minute access can still compare single-day options. Friday starts at $179, Saturday starts at $184 and Sunday starts at $174, giving buyers a lower-cost path into the Napa festival weekend.
Lightning in a Bottle Is One of May’s Higher Get-In Markets
Lightning in a Bottle returns to Buena Vista Lake in California over Memorial Day Weekend, with Empire of the Sun, Mau P, Sara Landry and Zeds Dead among the top names on the lineup. The festival also includes cultural programming, workshops, talks and community-focused sessions through The Compass.
In the current Ticket Club data, Lightning in a Bottle has one of the highest starting prices among May festivals. Five-day passes currently start at $996, while three-day passes start at $863. For fans interested in this Memorial Day Weekend event, shopping last-minute listings through Ticket Club can help compare available pass types before prices shift again.
