Headliners such as AC/DC and Drake are among the biggest live draws in music. The food, drinks, luxuries and customization options on-site at the Empire Polo Grounds swell with each turn on the lawn. And by the time Weekend 2 is over and the bills come due, fans are already speculating about next year's lineup.
