The lineup for the 2026 edition of ‘The Fest‘ has newly seen an influx of over 200 bands. An initial lineup announcement made back in April confirmed headlining sets from The Bouncing Souls, two sets from PUP (including a performance of “The Dream Is Over“), as well as performances from Torche, A Wilhelm Scream, Sparta, Initiate, Flagman and more.
This new wave confirms appearances from Lagwagon, Iron Reagan and countless others. In fact, the below admat for the fest now serves as a proverbial punk rock Snellen chart. This year’s event will takeover Gainesville, FL from October 23rd to 25th. You can save yourself a whole lot of eyestrain by heading over to thefestfl.com/bands/ to take in the breadth of the roster.
