What You Need To Know In Entertainment - June 2015

Summer officially begins this month, and the warm, sunny weather means there will be a million things to do both indoors and out. This summer brings a few Hollywood comebacks and music festivals with it to give you all the entertainment you could possibly need. Take a look at what's heating up the country this month and make some plans to check everything out.

MOVIE RELEASES

Jurassic World (June 12)

It's been almost 15 years since the last film in the "Jurassic Park" franchise hit theaters, and after a long wait, we'll all get the chance to relive our dinosaur-filled dreams. Following scientists as they try to locate a genetically-superior, hybrid dinosaur, "Jurassic World" brings plenty of action and is already pegged to become the next big blockbuster of the summer. The film should be well worth the movie ticket, and if not, Chris Pratt definitely is.

Inside Out (June 19)

Pixar is also back this summer! The last film from the animation giant was 2013's "Monsters University," but this summer's "Inside Out" will finally end the studio's short hiatus. Starring Amy Poehler, Mindy Kaling, Bill Hader and many other famous names as the inner voices and emotions in our heads, "Inside Out" tells the story of a young girl moving away from her roots and the range of emotions she goes through in this coming-of-age film.

AWARD SHOWS

Tony Awards (June 7)

Get ready Broadway lovers, because the Tony Awards are set to air this month, and each nominee packs their own punch in some of the year's most powerful performances.

MUSIC FESTIVALS

Governors Ball (June 5)

What do Drake, Lana del Rey and The Black Keys have in common? They're each headlining Governors Ball in New York City, and if that's not enough to convince you how huge the music festival is, maybe other names like Florence + The Machine, Deadmau5, Charli XCX and Kiesza will. It's not too late to buy single-day tickets if you haven't already, but hurry, because the festival is right around the corner!
