Here’s the text of the announcement:
Mike ‘n Molly’s is proud to announce the inaugural Exit 182 Fest! From March 11-13th, we’ll be giving the people of Champaign a taste of what they’re missing at SXSW. Some great bands will be coming through town on their way to Austin and we thought it would be a great opportunity to put on a little showcase of our own. So come out and see some of your favorite local artists play alongside some up-and-coming artists from throughout the midwest! Check out www.mikenmollys.com later in the week for a complete schedule.
