You gotta hand it to The Fest, Gainesville FL’s long-running multi-day, multi-venue event: they’re not here to slowly trickle info on performing acts to us. No… they’ve made their first lineup announcement and it’s got more bands than I can bother to count. Joining headlining acts Thursday, Descendents, and Less Than Jake, will be bands new and old. There will be over 350 bands performing and, In a testament to the logistics of time management, there’s quite a few which will actually be playing two sets.
Of note, ALL is slated to perform, and it would be funny if NOT, the Descendents/ALL-style band plays before them.
Check out the poster below, and head to The Fest’s official page, which has more general info, and where tickets will go on sale 20 Apr 2023.
