Wall of Sound || June 18, 2007

After last year's poorly attended Wall of Sound Festival at the Ridglea Theater (which featured a stellar line up that included The New Year,Sound Team, David Bazan, LOW and Okkervil River to name a few), Spune Productions' head honcho Lance Yocom decided to go back to the drawing board to make Wall of Sound 2007 bigger and better.

The first change? Setting the festival in the fall (September 22nd this year), instead of early Spring like previous festivals.

Another notable change is the venue. This year's festival will take place at LaGrave Field, just north of downtown Fort Worth.

One thing that has not changed is the quality of the bands playing the fest. Yocom has announced that this year's line up will feature 40 acts, and the 10 he made public today are:
Explosions in the Sky, Midlake, Ghostland Observatory, Pinback, The Books, Bobby Bare Jr., The Sword, Eleven Hundred Springs, Brothers and Sisters and The Weary Boys.

The Wall of Sound website has also relaunched, with a promise of more acts to be announced June 20th. A bulk of the full line up should be displayed on the site by the end of the week.

Tickets go on sale Friday, June 29th.
