Musikfest in Bethlehem opens officially this weekend with various artists all day long for 11 days, rock legends Pantera (presented by 979X) take over The Pavilion at Montage Mountain, and celebrate the upcoming Camp Punksylvania at VSpot Bar’s kick-off event. All this and a whole lot more happening this weekend in the Northeast Pennsylvania music scene.
