Plans are in the work for the sixth annual 80/35 Festival in Des Moines, Iowa. The dates for next year have been confirmed for July 5-6, 2013, at the Western Gatway Park. Fun fact — the name 80/35 comes from the convergence of the two major interstates in the city of Des Moines.
The organizers want to hear your picks for next year. Last year they grabbed the The Avett Brothers, Death Cab for Cutie, Dinosaur Jr., and Leftover Salmon. From the 80/35 website:
