Main Stage – High Flight Society

More great news! We’ve booked High Flight Society for Main Stage on Saturday. We’re stoked to have the guys play at our festival. They’re simply amazing.

Definitely go over to their MySpace and listen a bunch to bump their song plays. THEN, come out to AgapeFest in May and rock out to their sweet, sweet tunes. Oh, it might be nice to let High Flight Society know just how excited you are to see them at af09, leave some comments on their MySpace too. (They’ve got a new EP coming out soon too!)
