It was already a given that punks around the world would flock to Gainesville, Florida over Halloween weekend for the thirteenth annual Fest. The only question was which acts would top their must-see lists this year. Now that the first wave of bands has been announced, we can safely answer that question with one word: Descendents.
The legendary California group will undoubtedly be one of Fest 13’s main attractions, but the rest of the lineup is packed with enough great bands to fill four weeks’ worth of festivals. Highlights include The Menzingers, The Hotelier, Into It. Over It., The World Is A Beautiful Place And I Am No Longer Afraid To Die, and that’s barely scratching the surface. Check out the full list after the break, and get either very excited to go or very sad that you’ll have to miss it.
Tickets for The Fest (10/31-11/2) and the accompanying Big Pre-Fest In Little Ybor (10/29-10/30) will go on sale Sunday, April 20 on the festival’s website.
