UPDATE: here the list of rumored bands that MAYBE play at the Fest... some names are definitly solid, some others not, but like always a band is not confirmed till No idea officially confirmed them... a couple of bands announced the Fest already on their myspace (the ones with the #- sign), others are board members and posted they are playing.. a handful of bands are just booking tours down to the Fest and the rest with the *-sign told a board member they will be at the Fest

yep - there is another list of possible confirmations as well, the main difference is that tehy don't list bands that told a board member they are playing or the ones booking a tour right now, therefor they included f.e. the band that played every Fest http://www.thefestfl.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=8386

rumored to be comfirmed without souce:

shook ones
OPioneers (where at least asked to play)

The Sidekicks also have Fest 8 listed on their myspace tour dates..

i heard a rumor from somewhere that The Allman Brothers are playing...

Might as well start it off. I keep hearing The Ergs are going to play...

Polar Bear Club are playing again

With Duane Allman resurrected, right?

i'm interested to see what west coast bands will make the trip...

I demand that Chris Wollard play again this year!

hopefully in a venue that fits more than 12 people.

bomb the music industry, off with their heads, smalltown, shook ones, riot before, landmines.

i heard of a few unbelievable bands playing from a believable person. not really sure where i stand. but he said: propagandhi, weakerthans, andrew wk.

Haha, i'd go.

$$$ PARAMORE $$$

I found a few weeks ago from him that the Fest is overwhelming for him, and he doesn't even like to go. But I imagine playing is a different story.

I heard Gin Blossoms, Iron Maiden, and N.W.A.
stoked

I actually heard Gin Blossoms got bumped for The Cardigans. So it looks like I'll have to learn the lyrics for "Lovefool" again...
