Fun Fun Fun Fest 2014 Lineup Announced: Austin’s 2nd biggest music festival continues it’s tradition of left-of-center choices

Fun Fun Fun Fest leaked their official 2014 lineup this evening. The Austin, TX festival always curates some esoteric choices, and this year proves no different.


Headliners for this year’s festival  include metal legends Judas Priest, King Diamond, Nas, Death From Above 1979, Wiz Khalifa, Neutral Milk Hotel, Alt-J and Death Cab For Cutie.

Other acts of note include synth-pop guru Gary Numan (who played SXSW earlier this year), Rocket From The Crypt, Death Grips, Sick of It All,  The New Pornographers, The Blood Brothers, Run the Jewels, Guided By Voices, Yo La Tengo, Dinosaur Jr., Sun Kil Moon, and the recently reunited Failure.

Next to the mediocre Austin City Limits Festival lineup for this year, Fun Fun Fun Fest is definitely giving the most bang for your buck. But it’s still coming up woefully short next to this year’s insanely amazing Riot Fest announcement (best lineup ever?). And sadly, my hopes for Slowdive showing up have been dashed. Oh well.

FFFFest will also host a comedy tent, and that lineup will be released on July 1st.

Tickets for the festival go on sale May 20th at 10:00am CST.

Fun Fun Fun Fest takes place November 7th-9th at Auditorium Shores in Austin, TX.
