The Fest Announces Second Wave of Artists for 23rd Installment
We love to see a festival that doesn’t leave much to be desired when it comes to a lineup, and what’s represented in it. Tony Winebender, the ex-No Idea Records mind who curates The Fest, made sure to stack its 23rd installment, which takes October 24–26, with a grip of shit you may not expect to hear, and it’s awesome.
The second wave of artists billed has just been shared, and it continues The Fest’s mix of metal, hardcore, punk, ska, pop-punk and indie. Among those announced this go around are Bane, Fucked Up, Piebald, and The Get Up Kids, who will be playing their sophomore album Something To Write Home About in its entirety.
Check out the rest of the second wave below, and gear up for another wave that will surely be just as hefty coming soon.
