Ahead of renovations to Spanish Moon slated to begin June 12, the popular concert venue is throwing a massive festival this weekend as a celebration of the space that locals have come to know and love over the years.
Nine bands in total will share the stage at Spanish Moon Fest, including prominent Baton Rouge acts such as Hydra Plane, Particle Devotion and Butcher’s Dozen. Other performers include Lola Tried, Quarx, Dubya, Mayhaps, The Magic Word and Burris.
Many of the bands have played the venue frequently over the course of the past few years.
