bobby Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I figured i should start a thread as the dates are announced:Oct 28th, 29th and 30th.I'll be in attendance this year, any speculation on bands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Kinda hoping the lineup sucks because I'm not planning on going this year. The weekend after Fest is my 30th birthday and I'm going to NYC. Pretty much all my extra savings is gonna go towards that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefftrotinger Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Last year was my first Fest and I gotta say it was such an amazing fest. So much fun. Can't wait for this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipsterasfolk Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I told everyone last year that was my last Fest. I didn't even want to go last year due to the weak lineup. I will say that Smiths cover set was the best and finally seeing Defiance, Ohio was awesome! Who knows though, I may go for the sake of going 5 years straight!

dynamitekid Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I would think Desperacidos(sp) would make up their date and I would hope 88 Fingers Louie would make an appearance. Outside of the usual suspects...how about MU330? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 i'm hoping the loved ones will finally make an appearance, or at least a new mexican disaster squad reunion...one can hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbfischer12 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 It'd be cool to get some of the bigger bands back on this. Last year's lineup was somewhat weak for my tastes so I did Wrecking Ball in ATL instead. Gimmie some HWM, Bouncing Souls, D4, Lucero. Some of the less likely but appealing names would be The Alkaline Trio, Against Me!, or Streetlight Manifesto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthemjfan23 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 i've never been to fest because i live in chicago and most of the bands that i'd be interested in seeing at fest play chicago a few times a year. i was considering going last year, but the lineup wasn't interesting enough for me to spend the money. but this year i'm determined to go. i turn 30 in november, and my goal is to have traveled to all 50 states by my birthday. 3 of the 5 i have left are Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, so i figured as long as i'm going to be driving all the way down to visit those, i might as well plan it around fest, and drive a little bit further, right? looking into getting a table/booth/tent to sell some records and things while i'm there, and kill a few birds with one stone.

For Alabama, you should check out Muscle Shoals.. beautiful small town and very rich in music history. danthemjfan23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to Fest 3x. Last year was the weakest lineup I've seen thus far -- from the headliners down to the non headliners. I was listing headliner bands specifically because 15 should be a bigger occurrence (as 10 was a bigger celebration too). Edit: And the first set of bands I listed were all bands who have Fested multiple times (most of which all played Fest 12 or 13 or both -- the last three I mentioned as being long shots.

controlthebleeding Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 weirdly enough, last year's pre-fest was my funnest yet. probably because i made a point to see every damn band i hadn't seen or remotely liked and was totally blown away by a few. i never got to fest because i got sick the first day and was bed ridden all weekend. but luckily i saw all the bands i wanted to see, minus old flings, during pre-fest. 8x for me, and while it's cool to see the headliners, i've seen most of those bands numerous times before over the US so i was looking forward to more of the regional and foreign acts that don't tour to TX.

kylekrische Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I did like the outdoor MainStage format from the past year. Liked that there was beer other than Pabst sold as well. I'm not a crazy beer guy, Pabst just gives me heartburn so bad past 6 or 7 of them it was nice to have some variation. Fest is always fun because of the people you get to run into/meet. I held my schedule back to making sure I hit 2-3 for sure bands each day and the rest of the time try to hang as much as possible and I had a great year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
