Indie and alternative rock fans are counting down the days to the sold-out 11th annual FYF Fest, which will be headlined by Phoenix and The Strokes with additional performances from more than 60 singers and groups during the two-day festival.
For the first time, FYF Fest will take place at The LA Sports Arena and Exposition Park in downtown Los Angeles on the weekend of Aug. 23 and 24.
The festival, produced in association with Goldenvoice, will feature indoor and outdoor stages, offer expanded food options, and treat attendees to a one-of-a-kind festival experience.
