As summer is quickly approaching, we plan to keep you all as updated as possible on music festivals happening in Springfield and the surrounding cities. Today we bring you news of a punk festival happening in Bloomington, Illinois at the Firehouse. “Cinco De Punkfest” takes place at the Firehouse on Saturday, May 4th. Headlining the festival will be The Copyrights (who will also be playing Dumb Fest in Springfield on June 15th). Plenty of other bands are playing including All Eyes West (playing Black Sheep May 2nd), Pure Dynamite, Drop Dead Blvd, and many more. For a complete list of bands, go to the facebook event or take a look at that flier at the top of the post.

The festival is all ages. Tickets are $8 in advance and $12 at the door. They can be purchased here. You can find a facebook event with more info including the full lineup here.
