TVD Live: The Landmark Music Festival, 9/27

PHOTOS: RICHIE DOWNS & CLARISSA VILLONDO | As we noted with our Saturday coverage yesterday, since the days of Woodstock, the big destination rock festivals for years only occurred in England, Europe, and other exotic places.

In the past decade or two, though, there has been a concentrated effort to create big annual music festivals tied to specific U.S. locales: Bonnaroo in Tennessee, Coachella in California, the Austin City Limits in Texas, the Lollapallooza setting shop in Chicago. New Orleans and Newport kept their distinction with their particular styles of music.

Now every city seems to have its own fest, from Philly’s Made in America to Atlanta’s Shaky Knees and Dover’s Firefly. And now so does D.C.—the Landmark Music Festival.

Saturday’s recap is here. Sunday’s is one click away.
