Veteran music industry insider and historian Eddie Trunk (SiriusXM channel 106) has seen it all. But then again: the music world is always new. And Trunk, despite his decades chronicling the wild goings-on in music and pop culture, brings fresh eyes to his travels as he hits major music festivals on AXS TV’s TrunkFest. It’s a colorful, musical, sandal-and-boot-stomping musical journey. Trunk takes viewers on a modern-day magical mystery tour, unraveling some of the mystery and bringing much of the magic to your living room — or your viewing device of choice. TrunkFest airs every Sunday at 9:30pE/6:30pP, on AXS TV.

Trunk visits the festivals the way Guy Fieri takes on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. He gives us a flavor of what it’s like to be there in the moment and what makes each festival unique.

More venues on the TrunkFest schedule after the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally include Voodoo Music + Arts Experience, Castaway with Southern Ground, Louder Than Life, KAABOO, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Mountain Jam, and Cheyenne Frontier Days.
