TAKE A GANDER AT OUR NXNE 2012 SCHEDULE

Story by Laura Hermiston, Laura Cappe, Kate Davies, and Adam Steel.

Plaid’s online music writers sat down with the entire NxNE schedule and picked their top choices out of the hundreds of bands playing this year. It includes both big names and small up and comers who you may not have heard of before. We may suffer from slight dehydration from a few too many salted rims and we may get a little sunburned on our shoulders- but we are definitely putting our passes to good use this year. We hope our readers do too.
