Deferred a year by the pandemic, The Maine's third 8123 Fest will praise the Tempe rockers' fifteenth commemoration with five days of occasions in midtown Phoenix.The principle - or is it Maine? - occasion is a multi-band victory at Margaret T. Hance Park.
The Maine will feature (clearly) with a set that bassist Garrett Nickelsen says will be a blend of most noteworthy hits and tunes they haven't played with in some time.They're joined by State Champs, 3OH!3, Tessa Violet, the rejoined Summer Set, Derek Sanders (of Mayday Parade), Beach Weather and The Maine's John O'Callaghan doing a performance set as John the Ghost.
Furthermore, it's somewhere for the bigger group of Maine fans to gather and commend their common love of the music."There's something else about our fan base," Nickelsen says."So it's very much like this huge family vibe for the end of the week. It's a chance for everybody to meet up and accomplish something that ideally fulfills them."
Nickelsen lives downtown and something he cherishes the most with regards to the celebration is seeing fans he perceives from Chicago or Seattle as he's driving down the road."The roads of downtown turned into our own in this truly wild manner," he says. "That is the coolest thing."
One of the Valley's best stone demonstrations of the century, up until this point, the Maine, will have a celebration at Margaret T. Hance Park in midtown Phoenix in a month whose nearby features range from that multi-act victory to an advantage for Club Placebo, another presentation space that serves as a neighborhood punk gallery.
There's likewise another mark sending off finally Exit Live with the arrival of a four-tune neighborhood music aggregation, Danielle Durack tossing the collection she delivered last January, a birthday celebration now that unrecorded music is back in the clubs and an accolade for an amazing jazz performer who spent his early stages in Phoenix.
