For free. And we’re slowly moving to this national level where people fly in for it and it’s a lot bigger than it was.” For its eighth incarnation, set to take place at 1st and Main in downtown LA on September 3rd, the festival will look to further make its mark on the North American festival scene with a lineup topped by two of the year’s hottest reunites — punk legends the Descendents and Toronto noise rock duo Death From Above 1979.

Other notable acts include Broken Social Scene, Explosions in the Sky, Guided By Voices, Simian Mobile Disco, Cold War Kids, The Dead Milkmen, No Age, Dan Deacon, The Head and the Heart, Four Tet, YACHT, Smith Westerns, and The Weakerthans.

Rounding out the bill are Cults, Kid Dynamite, Girls, Glass Candy, Cass McCombs, OFF!, Japandroids, Future Islands, Ty Segall, Twin Sister, Pink Mountaintops, Chromatics, Olivia Tremor Control, The Strange Boys, Mister Heavenly, Avi Buffalo, Nosaj Thing, Title Fight, Purity Ring, Fool’s Gold, Touche Amore, and Tijuana Panthers.

Tickets for FYF Fest will start at $35 when they go on sale Friday, June 17th at 3:00 PM PDT. Once that allotment sells out, the price will increase to $40. VIP packages will also be available. Visit the festival’s website for more information.

If that isn’t enough to get you excited about Stephen McBean latest LP with Pink Mountaintop, you’re either entirely severely lacking sensible logic or just an old curmudgeon. For those who are excited, here are the details on Outside of Love:
