In years past, Mystery Bands have all been bands playing other sets at fest. Generally a mix of more cover sets, or bigger bands just playing again at smaller venues.
They don't usually get revealed for awhile. When I went in 2014 I didn't know Banner Pilot was a mystery band at the Wooly until the day of.
My brother showed this to me. I guess a lot of people in his group of friends who go to THE FEST use it. The Fest 15 / Big Pre-Fest in Little Ybor 4 2016 Clashfinder
From what I read on the Fest website they are bands that are already on the bill just playing a more intimate set, maybe? They will be announced the day before each band goes on to allow the fans to know who it is going to be, and allow people/venues to plan accordingly for the amount of people that might show up.

Anyone going to this, is there any way someone could pick me up the Flatliners "Make Flatliners Ska Again" koozie?
went last year for the first time and an absolute blast(though i got a little to messed up the first night) , wish I was going this year but I promised myself that Broken World Fest would be the only concert id travel too. Super jealous of all going. Hopefully I'll make it out next year.
Set a new record for shortest wait time to pick up my Fest wristbands today, less than one single minute. I swear Pre-Fest spoils me because I remember standing in line at the Holiday Inn in Gainesville for hours a few years ago and now it's a breeze.
I just checked and they're sold out but said they're getting more Saturday so I'll try and grab one then.
Thanks for posting this, this is my first time at fest and even though I'm with some vets this looks super helpful to me
So sorry but they sold out of the koozie again before I could get back to the Plaza and grab one for you. They were late setting up their merch and by the time I made it back to check for the 3rd time they were gone.
Didn't know The Menzingers were selling a n exclusive Lookers 7" at Fest... If anyone has an extra of that or The Flatliners - Nerve 7" that they'd like to part with let me know!
