You wouldn’t believe it, but we are announcing a 15-band hardcore festival to be happening at Black Sheep in just six days, this upcoming Saturday, September 3rd. That’s right- this one isn’t really last minute on our part- the festival just had to be moved from happening in Champaign/Urbana to Black Sheep recently. We are happy to be now hosting the first “Central Illinois Hardcore Festival” featuring 15 bands from all over the region. Let’s take a look at the lineup:
No Surrender
Burdened
Mended
Capitol Offense
The Brandon Rosa Boombox Experience
Open Wound
Mercy Blow
Sledge
Reaver
Breach
Reduced To Instinct
Cold Grip
Lowered A.D.
Lowlives
Through N Through
Drowning
There you have it! Some of those bands of course are familiar to the Black Sheep stage such as Lowered A.D. and Reduced To Instinct, who have both played Dumb Fests of the past. You can check out music from Ohio’s “No Surrender” embedded below. The festival is set to be starting at noon on Saturday. Admission is $10. You can find a facebook event for the fest right here.
