In addition to being the birthplace of great artists and bands such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Guns N' Roses, The Beach Boys, among others, California is, along with Florida, one of the most important musical regions in the country.
Its variety of concerts, festivals and events make it one of the most touristic states in the United States, including Primavera Sound, Audiotistic, Portola, Beach Life.
Primavera Sound, as its name suggests, is a three-day music festival that brings together the best bands and artists from around the world.
For example, in 2022 the Arctic Monkeys, Mitski, Paloma Mami and Sangre Nueva stood out on the stage.
For 2023, the date of Primavera Sound in California has not yet been confirmed, just as it is not known what its billboard would be.
Audiotistic Music Festival is one of the musical events with the greatest impact in the California community, as it brings together lovers of electronic music and reggae in one place and in one weekend.
The previous year, this music festival took place on July 9 and 10, a key date in the middle of the hot Californian summer with renowned artists such as A Hundred Drums, Bloodsport, Blunts & Blondes, Born Dirty, Chocolate Sushi, Com3t, DJ Dials , Dom Dolla, among others.

For its part, the BeachLife Festival, a perfect space to have a good time with friends, brings great surprises for this 2023 in top-level artists such as The Black Keys, Gwen Stefani, Black Crowes, Pixies, Modest Mouse and John Fogerty.
In this way, the BeachLife Festival brings together different musical genres to expand its coverage and give its audience a variety of settings.
This festival already has its dates confirmed for 2023: it will take place from Friday May 5 to Sunday May 7 in Redondo Beach.
This 2023 will also take place the BottleRock Napa, which as its name says, is designed for lovers of rock in all its varieties.
This event is one of the most complete due to its variety of settings and services, as it has a space for meals, a spa, a space for silent events, and even a food contest.
The success and importance of BottleRock Napa, which runs from April 26 to 28, is so great that three months after its start there are only single tickets left for each day because the subscriptions for the three days it lasts are sold out.
And it is that the lineup of artists is of international quality, with renowned bands such as The Smashing Pumpkins, Post Malone, Duran Duran, Lizzo, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Lil Nas X, Sheryl Crown, Bastille, among others.
Drastically changing musical tastes, we went to the Monterey Jazz Festival that will go from Friday the 22nd to Sunday the 24th of September.
Among the most recognized artists that this jazz festival will have are Thundercat, Snarky Puppy, Butcher Brown, Zach Westfall, Claudia Villela, Samara Joy, Christian Sands and Katie Thiroux.

Finally, the Portola Music Festival 2023, one of the most important electronic music and indie pop gatherings in California, will take place on September 23 and 24 in San Francisco.
With a main stage for 40,000 people and with an area of 400,000 square feet, the Portola Music Festival will be one of the massive events of the year, with the city of San Francisco as the background to spend unforgettable evenings.
