What is it? Krazyfest? Hellfest? Monsterfest? Nope, nope, nope. It's The Fest. Taking place in Gainesville, FL on May 24th and 25th, this fest is putting every other one to shame, it seems. Who is playing? Over 60 bands will grace the stage in two days - Har Mar Superstar, Ann Beretta, Onelinedrawing, Schatzi, Hankshaw, The Pietasters, The Ghost, Twelve Hour Turn, Pretty Girls Make Graves, and Strikeforce Diablo are just some of the acts that will rock out. And the cost? Only 20 bucks. What a steal! Go to The Fest's webpage for all the info, or if you just want to be amazed by the [still incomplete] band lineup, check READ MORE.
