Hear Nebraska was in Gainesville, Fla., over the last three days to capture photos and video of some of the world’s most exciting (mostly punk-ish) bands and indie comedians at The Fest — the country’s preeminent punk rock festival. We were disappointed to learn that Omaha’s Desaparecidos had to drop off a headlining spot last-minute, but Nebraska still had a strong contingency of fans, musicians and comics. As always, we worked hard to make new friends and spread the word about Nebraska’s music community. We’ll be releasing live videos over the next couple months, but you can follow our work on Twitter or Instagram through the #hnfested hashtag, and check out the complete photo spread at our Flickr page.
See some of our photographers’ favorite shots from Fest 14 below.
[Thanks to HN supporter Dave Manning for making this trip possible.]
