The arrival of spring brings warmer temperatures, blooming flower gardens, and a number of festivals and celebrations to ring in the season. The lineup of spring music festivals is particularly exciting, with events like the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (also known as Jazz Fest), the iHeartRadio Country Festival, and Shaky Knees bringing some of the world’s biggest talents together to provide memorable, music-filled experiences. 

If attending a music festival is on your to-do list this spring, your first priority — after securing tickets, of course — is finding a place to stay. Since these larger events can cause an influx of travelers resulting in higher hotel rates and a lack of available rooms, we found an easy way to get ahead of this demand. Expedia’s One Key rewards program is free to join and offers its members exclusive access to discounted hotel stays as well as a range of other perks. Plus, travelers in the One Key program earn OneKeyCash to spend on future travel plans whenever they book an eligible hotel, flight, or vacation rental through Expedia, Hotels.com, or Vrbo. 

To help finalize your spring travel plans, we scoured Expedia to find some of the best places to stay during this season’s top music festivals.

Virgin Hotels New Orleans for the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival

Jazz Fest, happening from April 25 to April 28 and May 2 to May 5, is one of the few music festivals that takes place over two consecutive weekends, so you have a bit of flexibility in when you go. No matter which weekend you choose to attend, you can elevate your entire experience with a stay at Virgin Hotels New Orleans. Given Jazz Fest’s popularity, you won’t find a ton of major deals on New Orleans hotels this time of year, but One Key members do receive a slight discount on select rooms within the luxury hotel. 

Located within the Warehouse District, the 238-room hotel features a rooftop bar, where you can relax and sip on a few cocktails before or after Jazz Fest. Before you finalize your trip, be sure to explore Expedia’s complete guide to Jazz Fest to learn more about New Orleans’ music scene and other can’t-miss activities you’ll want to check out while visiting. 

The Newbury Boston for Boston Calling

Over Memorial Day Weekend, Ed Sheeran, Leon Bridges, Tyler Childers, and Reneé Rapp, among others, will perform at Boston Calling. The three-day music festival, happening May 24 to May 26, takes place along the Charles River at Harvard Athletic Complex, so those also looking to explore downtown Boston should consider booking a hotel a bit closer to the city’s top tourist sites including Boston Common, the Freedom Trail, and the Public Garden. 

The Newbury Boston is within walking distance of some of these green spaces, and the glamorous getaway is perfect for resting up between the festival’s live acts. Travelers with a One Key account will also receive a discount on their holiday weekend reservation, with rates starting at $821 per night. 

Hotel Magdalena for the iHeartRadio Country Festival

They say everything is bigger in Texas — and that includes its music festivals. The iHeartRadio Country Festival is a one-day affair at Moody Center, an arena on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin. This year, the lineup includes performances from Jelly Roll, Lady A, and Brothers Osbourne, but the fun shouldn’t be restricted to just May 4. 

To make the most of Austin’s dynamic cultural scene, extend your trip a few nights and stay at Hotel Magdalena. The boutique hotel is right off of South Congress Avenue, where you can pop into Joann’s Fine Foods after shopping for some cowboy attire at Allens Boots. With a One Key membership, travelers get access to a 15 percent discount on rooms in early May, leaving you with some extra spending cash. 

Solage, Auberge Resorts Collection for BottleRock Napa Valley

At BottleRock Napa Valley, festival-goers get to celebrate food, drinks, and some of the most well-known performers across musical genres. Stevie Nicks, T-Pain, Pearl Jam, and Stephen Sanchez are just some of the names gracing the three-day festival’s roster from May 24 to May 26, but there’s even more to that weekend than live music — the Napa Valley Expo also hosts a culinary stage, spa, and a silent disco. 

If you’re the type of traveler who wants to balance the festival’s hubbub with a healthy dose of relaxation, book a room at Solage, Auberge Resorts Collection. One Key Gold status unlocks 20 percent off select rooms at the luxury hotel, where guests can soak up the health benefits of the property’s geothermal pools and peaceful ambiance. 

Hotel Clermont for Shaky Knees

Before the summer heat takes over Atlanta, the outdoor music festival Shaky Knees will bring Noah Kahan, Foo Fighters, and Weezer — plus dozens more performers — from May 3 to May 5. Since the city is known for its spread-out nature and traffic-heavy streets, you’ll want to ensure your accommodations are relatively close to the Central Park venue. 

Hotel Clermont, a top Atlanta hotel, is just over a mile from the stages, and it’s a great choice for travelers who enjoy hotels anchored in history, personality, and design. Additionally, One Key Gold members’ VIP access grants them 15 percent off select rooms over the Shaky Knees weekend (rooms start at $314). Guests will also receive a free beverage per person, a free room upgrade if available, and bonus OneKeyCash.
