Check it out, FYF Fest fans! This morning on 89.9 FM KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic, DJ Jason Bentley interviewed FYF Fest founder Sean Carlson regarding this year's festival and gave attendees some news regarding new stage The Club, which replaces the Arena Stage. (It will be one of five stages.) Were you curious about Sean Carlson's favorite act booked over the event's 13 years? His answer: Grace Jones.
Some set times announced during the interview included Grimes, Tame Impala, and Kendrick Lamar on the Main Stage on Saturday. Preoccupations (formerly Viet Cong) will open up the festival on Sunday, followed by Wild Nothing, Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires, Anohni (their only American festival appearance in 2016), and Young Thug on the Lawn Stage. The Black Madonna will be on the Woods Stage at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, and on the Main Stage, you can see Blood Orange, followed by Father John Misty, Grace Jones, and LCD Soundsystem.
