From Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Tennessee next month to Lollapalooza in Chicago in August, music lovers will soon be flocking to festivals. Here are some ways to enjoy the music without breaking the bank.

Camping is the cheapest lodging option, but if you prefer a hotel, book your room before your flight. The cheapest hotel rooms fill up quickly, and flights can be more flexible.

Download the festival's app as well as others like Festival Ready, which includes navigation and weather forecasts. Yelp and travel apps like Travelzoo or Expedia also offer last-minute discounts on spots around town.

Consider volunteering. Sure, you'll have to work, but your admission will be free.

Bring your own water or snacks if the festival allows. And make sure you have essentials, like sunscreen and a hat, so you don't have to buy them at the fest at a markup.--AP
