Bonnaroo has kind of become the granddaddy of all American festivals. The thing I love about it most is that it wasn't born out of picking the top ten bands off the Billboard chart and creating a festival around it.

I want to headline Bonnaroo. I just want to do it more than anything in the world.

There's nothing like a music festival. People are ready to have a good time. I don't think anyone comes to a festival going, 'I'm gonna be a complete bummer today.'

When I started out, I wanted to be the kind of artist who could play the CMA Music Festival and then turn around and play Bonnaroo, and I've managed to do both.

Festivals are great because you get to just walk around the corner and see a new band that you've heard but not had the chance to check out.

I love being in public places, but I can't stand long, drawn-out music festivals.

The really cool thing about festivals is that you're getting to play in front of a whole lot of people who have never heard of us before. That's exciting. At the same time, it's a little bit of a challenge to capture the attention of people who have already seen a lot of bands.

My favourite festival experience is a show at midnight with the moon blazing and a crowd full of open hearts ready to dance.

For musicians, Musikfest is the most cool event.

I'm a huge festival fan. I love to dance and dance all night long.
