September 9th! Updates galore!

Hello FEST friends,

Today we got big news for ya, so I’ll jump right into the string of updates and new shits!

THE SCHEDULE IS UP!

View the schedule for FEST 10 here. I hope nothing changes, but things happen. For now, this is a good start. Keep in mind that this year, more than any other year, there will be crucial conflicts. That is what happens when we book too many kick ass bands!

You will also notice on the schedule the “MYSTERY BAND” slots. These slots will be filled by bands already playing who wanted to do surprise shows at smaller venues. You know, to kinda get back to their roots from earlier Fests. We will announce each band the morning of via our phone apps, twitter, facebook etc. Let the wild rumors begin!

Also, The Florida Theater of Gainesville is THE VENUE and Double Down Live is COMMON GROUNDS, and LOOSEY’s is the smaller pub side of what was Market Street for all of you returning folks.

NEW SHIRT DESIGNS

The mighty HORSEBITES has struck again and has unleashed a wonderful new shirt design for us all. We liked it so much that we are gonna step it up and print it on a hip Tultex shirt and make these sleeveless hoodies that I have been told are unisex. I’m totally gonna make one for Davey Tiltwheel!

FEST ART POSTER

More from Horsebites! To celebrate our big 10 year anniversary, I asked Richard to design a art poster that had all the characters from FESTS past.  As you can see it totally kicks ass! 24"x18" Poster Hand Screenprinted on grey paper (limited to 100) and will come in a special poster tube so you can easily take it back with you and not fuck it up.

*PJ is having a little problem with this item in our shopping cart. We will have this fixed by next Thursday the 15^th.

You can snag all these swanky merch items over on the TICKETS page. There are other shirts and hoodies there as well. Keep in mind that you can totally place an order for merch without having to order a ticket.

FEST 10 POSTERS

We got the FEST 10 posters in! The Black Axe did a wonderful job, and I think for a FEST first we actually have every band on the poster this year! We made 2,000 more than we usually do in hopes that everyone who comes to FEST 10 will be able to take one home with them.
