In the press release  Sad Summer Fest Management Team express their gratitude toward their loyal fan base in the following statement.

“We are very proud to have made it to year FOUR of Sad Summer.  We believe the bill this year will take the tour and experience to a new level.  Thanks to all of our loyal fans who have helped grow this brand with us; we see you.”

Taking Back Sunday will be making their Sad Summer Fest debut and band member John Nolan expresses his joy in the following statement.

“We’re very excited to get back on the road. It’s going to be great spending the summer playing shows with old friends and making new ones. Most of all, we can not wait to start playing these new songs for everyone!”

The Maine will make their return to Sad Summer Fest  having been a part of two previous summers which include the inaugural year of the fest back in 2019. The Maine’s band member John O’Callghan shares his thoughts regarding the band performing at the festival.

“For some reason the past year has felt like one long winter to me. Not that I haven’t enjoyed the hibernation, but I think it’s time my body absorbed some vitamin D and my ears devoured some Taking Back Sunday. And the very best place for both of those things will be at Sad Summer ’23. So crawl out of that cave, apply the zinc oxide and let’s f**king rip.”
