It’s the first ten bands that we are announcing for Dumb Fest 2, which will be happening on June 13th and 14th this year at Black Sheep, Skank Skates, and Dumb Records. The purpose of this fest is to highlight punk and hardcore DIY music happening in Central Illinois and the surrounding areas right now.
