KAABOO is not your typical music festival. Instead, it’s everything a music festival is not. At KAABOO you don’t have to stand amidst muddy, large crowds for the weekend or use dirty port-a-potties. Instead, here you’ll find clean restroom facilities throughout, ample seating areas and even restaurants and plazas where you can relax in style. Of course, you can’t forget about the music. This year’s lineup includes MUSE, David Guetta, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Milky Chance, Kesha and many more!

The annual Comic Con will be once again returning to San Diego and it is set to be bigger and better than ever.

This year, the San Diego Comic Con will be from July 20th through the 23rd. If you’ll be attending this year’s event, be sure to stay at hotels near Comic Con.

This year, when you attend Comic-Con you’ll be able to see sneak peeks on new Marvel movies such as Spider-Man: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, and possibly even Avengers: Infinity War. DC will also be there and they will likely be showing new footage for their upcoming movies such as Justice League and Aquaman. They won’t be the only ones with sneak peaks though. There might be glimpses from Deadpool 2, Fantastic Beasts 2 and even the highly anticipated The Last Jedi.

Hit shows such as Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead and Supernatural will also likely have trailers, clips and panels guests can sit in on as well.

Of course, there will also be special guests attending the event. Guests are always announced as the event gets closer but some of the already announced guests include Jim Lee, Paul Dini, producer and writer for shows such as Batman: The Animated Series and Superman: The Animated Series and Brian Selznick, famous author and illustrator for books such as “The Invention of Hugo Cabret”.
