Despite some confusing branding in labeling The Fest 23 in the ear 2025, organizers for the annual punk and punk adjacent gathering in Gainesville have knocked it out of the park with their first waves of confirmations.
Topping the three-day bill set for October 24th through the 26th, Propagandhi have earned top-billing. The band recently announced their first full length in eight years with At Peace due out May 2nd via Epitaph Records. Dillinger Four along with two sets from Jeff Rosenstock and RX Bandits round out the boldest font.
Among the standouts set for October include sets from Drug Church, Laura Jane Grace, 7Seconds, The Spits, Spy, Blindside plus Shelter celebrating 30 years of Mantra. The Fest will also feature an especially rare set from Coalesce who reunited in 2024 after 12 years to perform at Furnace Fest.
Along with the initial confirmation, The Fest has already prepped fans for a second wave of artists dropping June 6th. The complete line-up thus far can be found below. Tickets and information for The Fest 23 are now available - HERE
