Sept. 4 at the Los Angeles State Historic Park
FYF FEST is happening for the second year in a row at the Los Angeles Historic State Park in downtown LA on September 4th, 2010.
In its seventh year, 24 year-old Sean Carlson has taken the festival he started when he was 18 years old out of the multiple venues in Echo Park, where it started, and turned it into an outdoor, three stage event, mirroring its successful sister festival “Mess With Texas”, which takes place in Austin every year during SXSW. Sean has been booking the festival with the help of Keith Morris, frontman of Off!, The Circle Jerks and Black Flag, since its third year and now with the additional help of a handful of friends they have been able to put together the largest truly independent music festival to take place in Los Angeles.
The 2010 Lineup includes:
THE RAPTURE, PANDA BEAR, !!!, UNBROKEN, THE MOUNTAIN GOATS, DEAD MAN’S BONES,SLEEP, TED LEO & THE PHARMACISTS, MAN MAN, ARIEL PINK’S HAUNTED GRAFFITI, DELOREAN, COLD CAVE, 7SECONDS, THEE OH SEES, WASHED OUT, DAVILA 666, SCHOOL OF SEVEN BELLS, AA BONDY, THE BLOW, BEST COAST, TITUS ANDRONICUS, WAVVES, THE SOFT PACK, ABE VIGODA, WARPAINT, OFF!, VETIVER, CEREMONY, BIG FREEDIA, SCREAMING FEMALES, MAGIC KIDS, THE GROWLERS, LOWER DENS, LET’S WRESTLE, CULTS AND MORE!
FYF FEST, for the first time ever, has teamed up with a presenting partner, Altamont Apparel. A huge thanks goes out to them for helping to make this event happen.
But that is only one piece of the puzzle. FYF Fest could not happen without the continued support from INCASE, SESAC, Royal Elastics, Sailor Jerry, and the California State Park Rangers.
Early bird tickets are on sale until Thurs. at midnight at $20 here.
If you wait ’til Friday, advance tickets will be $25 and VIP tickets will be available at $65.
We will be announcing some more bands in the coming weeks and more details about the festival. Be sure to get updates by following FYF on Twitter and on Facebook.
For now.. grab an early bird ticket and be stoked to spend Labor Day Weekend in Los Angeles.
This will be the best day of summer!
