The Maine add another band to 8123 Fest lineup

We honestly couldn’t be more excited for the Maine’s 8123 Fest, and it just keeps getting better.

The band hinted at the second edition of the festival at the start of the year and confirmed it this summer. We know the event takes place over three days—January 18, 19 and 20, 2019—in Phoenix, Arizona, but they have been pretty mum on the lineup until last week.
