FEST LIBS 22
FEST LIBS 22

We've rolled out an extra-special feature for this year's Fest: that's right, it's FEST LIBS. You've played it before, but not like this – fill in our interactive form here, then sit back and read your customised FEST LIBS. The results may surprise you.

But before you go generate your own FEST LIBS, we've asked some friends in bands performing at Fest 22 to play first (as well as a few SPB staffers). See our favorite FEST LIBS below, then go and make your own here. Don't forget to share them with your friends and play FEST LIBS while you wait in line (or watch from afar, wishing you were in Gainesville).

Fest 22: Artist Interviews

Music / Fest 22 • October 22, 2024

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 … Read more

Music / The Set List • April 24, 2026

It feels like a lifetime ago when Mitt Romney referenced a "war on women" during the 2012 presidential cycle. A lot has changed, a lot has stayed the same -- but a new politically-charged band formed in the aftermath of that comment, calling themselves War On Women. Now, roughly 14 … Read more
