Fall may not officially begin until late September, but we all know that summer unofficially ends Labor Day weekend, as temperatures plummet and kids head back to school. It’s an especially sad time for live music fans, with the Coachellas and Bonnaroos and Lollapaloozas but a distant memory. Thankfully, though, there are more incredible autumn audiophile events than you might guess. After the jump, we round up 10 of our favorite upcoming happenings from around the country.

All Tomorrow’s Parties New York

September 3-5; Monticello, NY

No matter what costume you choose to wear, All Tomorrow’s Parties is sure to appease your inner record collector. Now in its third year stateside, this British import does things differently: The three-day fest caters to a comparatively small (~3000) crowd, takes place at Kutsher’s — a charmingly shabby Catskills summer resort complete with pond, creepily dangerous playground, and retro bars galore — and is completely devoid of corporate sponsorship. Each installment features its own high-profile Sunday curator, and 2010′s is art-house hero and downtown legend Jim Jarmusch, whose selections include Sunn0))) and Boris, Fucked Up, Kurt Vile, and various Wu-Tang Clan members. The ATP-selected Saturday line-up, with Sonic Youth, The Breeders, The Books, and more is no slouch, either. Oh, and did we mention Iggy & the Stooges are playing Raw Power on Friday night? We have attended ATP NY every year since its 2008 debut, and we can honestly say its among our favorite events, full of intimate encounters with beloved musicians. Last year, we sat in rapt silence as Bradford Cox played acoustic guitar outdoors for a tiny crowd. We can’t wait to find out what 2010 will bring.
