Dayton Music Fest Announces 2012 Lineup

We’re a little over a month away from one of my favorite local events: Dayton Music Fest (October 5th and 6th).  Yesterday the organizers announced a really exciting lineup that includes the addition of a stage at the Midwest Outdoor Experience (formerly Gearfest), two appearances from Southeast Engine and a live performance from Captain of Industry who we haven’t seen perform live since their series of reunion shows in 2011.  Of course with a great lineup, comes some tough choices.  Here’s the full lineup so you start mapping out your weekend.

Note:  Each venue links to the listing on Dayton Most Metro’s events calendar where you can hear samples of most of the bands performing in that particular place.
