The Fest announces full lineup (Descendents, Lifetime, The Marked Men, Chixdiggit!)

The Fest, the annual Florida gathering of hundreds of punk bands and drunken high-fives enthusiasts, just announced  the lineup for their Gainesville, and Tampa editions.

Topping the list this year is the first-ever Fest appearance for pop-punk legends the Descendents, the first-appearance for Calgary’s Chixdiggit! (check out our podcast with KJ here), as well as return appearances by Lifetime, The Marked Men, Modern Life is War, The Slackers, and an apparently-reunited Groovie Ghoulies.

The Gainesville edition runs from October 31-November 2, while the inaugural Tampa pre-show is set for October 29-30. You can check out the full lineup for both editions below.
