Dayton Music Fest line-up announced
The Dayton Music Fest website has now listed the line-up for this year’s indie and rock music fest happening October 4th.
In looking over the list of bands I have decided that this year could be the biggest since it’s creation in 2005.
Many local music mainstays like Shrug, the Story Changes, Lab Partners, and Joe Anderl will again be performing.
Also set to take one of the seven stages of the Dayton Music Fest are fresh faces to the DMF like the Japanese new wave/punk band Jasper the Colossal and the current Dayton Band Playoff semi-finalist the Joose Box.
A large turnout of music-fest-goers is expected this year to see Bob Pollard’s new band Boston Spaceships who will close out the DMF.
The turnout is expected to be so large in fact that the DMF website has a disclaimer for fans headlined as the “Bob Pollard Effect.”
It says the following:
We are anticipating high turnout for some artists at this year’s DMF. Space in the venues is limited, and we cannot guarantee entry once capacity is reached. Ticket holders will be admitted on a first come, first served basis.
I am as giddy as a schoolboy.
Thanks GCR.
