Yesssss, I get to knock Latterman and Propagandhi off my bucket list this year, can't wait for the next announcement.
The lineups for the Pre-Fest and the actual Fest are so similar. Besides the fact that they are in different cities, what are the differences?
It's been years since I've seen Propagandhi, but they're so good live! Hoping for some more reunions in the next announcement.
All bands that play Pre Fest will also play Fest. Fest will just have a lot more bands that will be playing. Think Pre Fest is around 150 bands (2 days long) and Fest will have around 300 (3 days long). The headliners will be the same for the most part, "smaller" bands will be the main difference, if you will.
None in particular really, I'm just hoping for a few surprises. Though honestly, the lineup is so strong already that anything else is just a bonus.
Right? This could be the only announcement they made and I would be ecstatic. The fact that there are going to be possibly better bands getting added is just amazing. Such a great weekend this is.
The Fest is nothing if not predictable and consistently solid... But I keep hoping they'll pull something together that makes me want to go again, to deal with the schedule conflicts, venue-hopping, etc. I went for four years straight a few years back and it was a fucking blast! But by the last year it felt like more of the same. That being said? I hope everyone here who winds up going enjoys the fuck out of this, and goes out of their way to check out a few bands they've never seen or heard of before. I still owe some of my favorites to the first Fest I ever attended back in like, 2008.
So some of the blanks are... Ergs! (reunion) Dillinger Four Lemuria Masked Intruder Mean Jeans boysetsfire F.Y.P.
The thing about Fest is, my friends always come back with stories that make me feel like if I went I might die.
I went by my self last year and basically died the first night so I don't doubt going with a group of friends would be worst

I reaally need to go to this one year. I would love to see Knapsack, AWS, and countless others. This year might be tough with vacation days but may be able to find a way.
2 new bands being announced everyday starting tomorrow. I don't know what time or how many days they will be doing this, but I am pretty excited.
