That's right...it's back
And this time, it's even bigger...2 days, 12 bands, and a few surprises...
It's been one year since our first festival so it's about time we do it again. And let me tell you, folks, this one's going to be no less of a fantastic event. We've got another good dose of mind-blowing acts lined up for you and we're back in Old Town Hall. That's hours and hours of good music and good times on two floors. And if that's not enough, the festival's been expanded this year...Two nights of tasty sounds right in the heart of Fairfax City.
We'll be starting off on Friday night -- that's April 23rd -- at Old Firestation #3 [previously Firehouse Grill/Miller's Tavern] with an Avant Fairfax/DC Sonic Circuits showcase of Cuneiform Records artists, Ergo and Algernon [with Kingdom of Sharks opening]:

The following night, on Saturday the 24th of April, we'll be back in Old Town Hall with the big festival. This year's lineup will include performances by:
