Anybody goin' to the Fuck Yeah Fest (aka FYF) in LA?

Welp

Translation -- boy I'm glad I'm giving this a miss!

My all black outfit is seeming like a really great idea right now.

This Line Up.

How does scheduling/timing work?

Obviously Slowdive is a big act, and one I want to see, but do other 'big' acts usually overlap? Say, Slowdive, Slint, HAIM?

Kind of hate not knowing the time each band performs.

this got buried in the weinstein thread but feels worth noting in that it may torpedo the festival entirely.

among other reasons, obvs

Canceled, apparently due to low ticket sales: http://variety.com/2018/music/news/fyf-fest-canceled-1202800780/

I wouldn't be surprised if that's the end of the brand, honestly, but we'll see.

Looks like a pretty good line-up, not quite up there with some previous, but what was the main problem this year?

It's not pretty good, it's a pretty fucking great line-up. I don't grasp how or why you can't make this a profitable festival. With that line-up. In LA?! I'm inclined to say #lolmurica

I think the location (Exposition Park) may not be ideal. But I'm not the target demo.

i went a couple years ago and thought it was pretty cool

but tickets have gotten way too expensive far too quickly

i was thinking about going this year. i know in the past you had to buy all two or three day passes, so maybe that is it?
