So excited for The Movielife, but they aren't billed as exclusive so I'd expect more Florida dates around that time. I'd be very surprised if they don't get Vinnie to do a solo acoustic set as well.
A Wilhelm Scream will be playing Career Suicide at both Pre Fest and Fest. Can't even wait for this to happen.

As @JaytotheGee and I discussed, if you can schedule Friday you are set the rest of the weekend. So much overlap of good bands that I consider high priorities. This will surely be a fun weekend.
Thanks. I only can make the 2nd day of pre fest and didnt want to pay full package price but didnt want to stay at one venue.
I made my tentative schedule. Only conflicts that really bum me out are Direct Hit/Flatliners and OWTH/PkewPkewPkew just because I know all 4 of those bands would have way better crowds at Fest than I've ever seen them play to but oh well! Very excited though
My first year is this year! I'm excited Do you usually know a good amount of time before the set / how is it announced?
Hi, i'm new here... HUGE Fest fan, have gone a couple of times. Really stoked for Pegboy, Lillingtons, Banner Pilot, MakeWar, Iron Chic. I will be all Friday night at 8 Seconds without a doubt. And yes, mystery bands are usually pretty big bands you won't want to miss. They are announced the day before.
Get the app for your phone when it is released that way you know ahead of time for the mystery sets. Like whatisthat said, they will be released the night before. Off the top of my head last year, Less Than Jake, A Wilhelm Scream, The Flatliners and Propaghandi were the mystery bands that I seen. Mainly larger bands playing smaller venues and more intimate sets. Due to finances beyond my control this year, I am missing for the first time in 5 years, so I hope you have a great time. Literally my favorite weekend of the year. And Gainesville has some of the best food around.
I'm cursed to never see a full You Blew It! set at Fest. Last year their Boca set ran into the Minor Threat Jeff Rosenstock cover set and their cowboys set ran into something else I forgot. This year their pre-fest is at the same time as Against Me and their normal set is the same time as Hum
Gotta say the biggest conflict I have though is the Against Me Axl Rose set against the Prince Daddy/Just Friends Weezer collab cover set
Yeah, not missing the Axl Rose set. I'm really curious who the mystery bands are. I'm going to guess The Menzingers as one since they will be available and did a small club run in the Midwest.
