The summer in the United States is almost over as most colleges and high schools are back in session, and the weather is rapidly dropping across the country. As the summer ends, we didn't want to you to forget anything from this summer as they usually fly by but are still filled with memories.
We decided here over at EDMsauce.com to give out our “Best Of The Summer” awards to some artists, songs, festivals, & more. We picked 10 major categories and asked people on social media, reddit, PR teams, as well as looked at stats from the streaming services to try and get the best feel for what happened this summer. While this wont bring back the warm weather and vacation time, it will surely highlight all the good from the past 4 months and hopefully get you through the 1st few weeks back at school or through those depressing end of summer blues! Check out all our winners and runner's up below!
