Don't think it's a secret but Tupolev Ghost from Cambridge/London UK have been asked to play and they seem to be all systems go for it!!!

bands I'm going to assume are confirmed since they have played every year
Fin Fang Foom
Stressface
Titltwheel
Tim Version
No More

and here's hoping to another New Mexican Disaster Squad show somewhere during the weekend

Nothington are touring to the Fest.

oh sweet! some band i've never heard of, is playing.

nothing matters until screeching weasel gets announced.

*fingers crossed SO HARD.*

I bet you it ain't gonna happen! Not when there's a punk Fest in their home town only 3 weeks before!

man, you're breaking my heart. you forgot a band....

HAHA Grabass playing is an absolute definite

this will not be happening

And I can think of several more that play every year too.

I sat down for over an hour trying to figure this out last year. There are only 7 bands that have played every single Fest.

Fin Fang Foom
Grabass Charlestons
Stressface
Titltwheel
Tim Version
No More
New Mexican Disaster Squad

but there have to be a ton more bands that have played 4 or 5 Fests.

I was very surprised there was no Radon last year.

I'm going to assume that Paint It Black is playing, and last year No Trigger said they will keep playing the Fest as long as they are invited, even if they don't play any other shows all year. Austin Lucas is a pretty safe bet. The other night Battle! said they are probably playing. I expect to see Hour Of The Wolf, Fiya, Young Livers, and hopefully Municipal Waste, How Dare You, Protagonist, Sakes Alive!. a lot of locals seem likely. The Lawrence Arms seems to play almost every year.

That's more of what i was hinting at.

That was the band's decision. One of them just couldn't make it. Prior obligations and something to do with a guitar. Two of the guys were there.

We got some artwork today.

We'll share soon.
