Fest 22: Artist Interviews
Fest 22: Artist Interviews

While I want to say that Scene Point Blank went big this year with so many interviews in this feature, the truth is that it's barely a fraction of the bands that play at FEST 22, taking place in Gainesville, FL from Oct. 25-27.

The artists featured are just a small sample who we've asked to talk about why they play The Fest and to get a look at how their 2024 is going so far.

And this is just the beginning.

We also have FEST LIBS for you to play, online and in the guidebook this year. Plus, we sent a few of these to bands in this feature ahead of time. Read their replies here.
