Another round of Fest Freshmen for ya! I honestly can't believe that @theimpossibles haven't played Fest before? Is that even true? Feel free to fact check me. So stoked on all these bands @nobromusic , @the_crosses_band , skankin to @thedoomstompers and @sorrysweetheart_official and wait til you hear For Dear Life... it's a lot of Fest Vets you definitely know. But it's a secret I think. Anyway, go listen to them all at TheFestFL.com radio player!

If you're looking for something a little more punk/hardcore/heavy/freaky, here are the Fest first timers to check out! So stoked to have @arewenothomefront make it down! Make sure you head to TheFestFL.com to listen to all the bands on our radio player. Finding new music and new bands is one of the joys in life, do it.

3-day passes, hotels, and the official Fest kick off show are all live now!! If you trust us to throw a good show, save some bones and grab your ticket early before we announce the bands on the kick off show, and before we announce the other 200+ bands playing Fest! We also added 2 new hotels this year since they basically all sold out last year. All these hotels are fest friendly hotels and give us group discounts, so use the link on our site for the good prices! Main art by @horsebites_ Layout by @swemba Kick off show by @heckfire
