You can add Los Angeles’ FYF Fest to the list of places you’d rather be this winter with the festival announcing a stellar lineup headed by Frank Ocean and Morrissey.
The festival, which will run over two days in August, will see Frank Ocean perform his first festival set since he cryptically announced his new album, rumoured to be titled Boys Don’t Cry.
The ever-controversial Morrissey will lead the second day of the festival, following his Sydney appearance at Vivid LIVE this month.
The drool-worthy lineup doesn’t stop at the headliners. Bloc Party, Run The Jewels, D’Angelo and the Vanguard, FKA Twigs and Solange are all set to play. As are Chet Faker, Flume and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, who will continue the Aussie assault on the US.
FYF Fest will take place at LA Sports Arena & Exposition Park on 22nd and 23rd August, giving you just under a month to get there following Splendour In The Grass, just in case you’re tempted.
