Update

Thanks to all of you who have been patient with us as we have been validating the ballots.  Going over the thousands of indiviudal votes, one-by-one, has been a bit of a time consuming process, but it was important to ensure that every legit vote was counted.

Good news- we’ll be making the official announcement of the top four bands tomorrow.  Check back here for the details and the winners.

Thanks again!

We're doing our best to not leave you hangin'!

We’ve been bombarded with messages from anxious voters, curious to see the results of the last tier of voting.  We want to keep you all in the loop, so you should know it’s looking like the official announcement as to what bands will play at Musikfest will most likely happen early next week.

The shear amount of votes for the final round exceeded expectations, but with that great news comes the task of verifying each ballot.  We want to make sure we get it right, so we’re taking our time and double checking our work.

Thanks to all of you for being patient- we’re excited and want to know the results just as much as you :)
