bxsfest2Big things at Black Sheep are happening this summer and we are getting ready to announce the lineup and flier for Black Sheep Fest 2013 happening on Saturday, July 27th. We are very excited about the lineup this year and feel that this will be the biggest Black Sheep Fest we have had so far.

The lineup includes 18 bands local to Springfield. One of the spots is held for the winner of the Black Sheep Battle of the Bands. We might also get to see a reunion or two from some old Springfield bands?

The lineup will be posted along with the official flier at Dumb Fest at Black Sheep and Skank Skates on June 14th and 15th. The newly created facebook event can be found here. The fest will start at 1:00 pm and continue all day and night. Admission is $5. More shows coming up this summer can be seen on our shows page.

Now it’s 2013 and Park have announced that they have reunited as a band and are currently working on a brand new album. When Ladd Mitchell came on to Black Sheep Radio a couple of weeks ago he talked to us about Park’s reunion and told us that Park will be playing SOHO Music Festival downtown this year and also a show in St. Louis on August 17th.

The Park show at the Fubar in St. Louis on Saturday August 17th and it will be a ten year anniversary show for the album It Won’t Snow Where You’re Going. Park will be playing their 2003 album in it’s entirety for the show. Bands also playing include Blackwater 64, Big Storm, and Clockwork. A facebook event can be found here.
