As we’ve come to expect in recent years, LA’s FYF Fest has announced it’s 2013 lineup and it’s a doozy. This year’s installment features a slew of modern alternative and indie rock from today and yesteryear. Headlining on night one are Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio and Flag (the supergroup of ex-Black Flag members Chuck Dukowski, Keith Morris and Bill Stevenson performing Black Flag songs). Night two features the first U.S. performance of My Bloody Valentine since their slot at Coachella 2009. Joining them at the top of the bill are MGMT (who have been strangely quiet lately), Beach House, Solange, Yo La Tengo and mxdwn favorites, The Melvins.
Also performing over the two-day event happening August 24th and 25th at L.A. State Historic Park are Deerhunter, Devendra Banhart, The Breeders performing their classic album Last Splash in its entirety, Washed Out, !!!, Baroness and many, many more. Tickets go on sale Thursday, May 16th at 12:00 noon PST. Weekend passes are $99. Last year the festival was a terrific blend of indie music and hardcore. We’ll be there. Will you?
