Just a reminder, ALL BANDS PLAYING PRE-FEST WILL BE PLAYING FEST 12. However, many of the bands will be playing “Special” sets at PRE-FEST in Ybor. We will be announcing this info hopefully in a few weeks as well as the BIG PRE-FEST IN LITTLE YBOR schedule! So, if you can make it down for the long run, you will be in store for a treat. Or, if you can’t make it on FEST 12 weekend, here is a chance to attend PRE-FEST and see a big chunk of the bands playing FEST 12!
