KahBang Festival Announces Full 2012 Lineup. Headliners include Bassnectar, Deftones, and Wale

“We party like it’s the end of the world” is the Epicurean, fist-pumping tagline for KahBang Festival, a four-day celebration of music, art, and film in Bangor, Maine. The festival takes place August 9th-12th and includes headliners Bassnectar, Deftones, and Wale, as well as a large number of smaller, up-and-coming artists ripe for discovery. Unlike music festivals that minimize the electronic and hip-hop scene by relegating the artists and their fans to a single tent, KahBang embraces the genre and stacks the lineup with music that’s perfect for covering yourself in glow paint and grinding up on your neighbor in a drug-induced haze. Combine the danceable lineup with the on-premise camping and you’ve got the makings of one hell of a party.
