The Get Up Kids will be thawing from a three-year hibernation as the band announced today they will be taking the stage as the headliner of Middle of the Map Fest, slated to take place in Kansas City, Mo. on April 3-5.

Although we have not seen the full band together in quite some time, members of TGUK have been quite busy. Frontman Matt Pryor released and has been touring on his latest solo effort, Wrist Slitter, and keyboardist James Dewees released the first Reggie and the Full Effect material since 2008 with the late-2013 LP No Country For Old Musicians. Reggie and the Full Effect is also set to perform at Middle of the Map Fest in April. Follow this link for the full lineup of 50+ bands, including Of Montreal, The Colourist, Kate Nash and Mime Game.
