Just because FYF Fest 2018 was canceled, it doesn't mean you can't see some of the festival acts this summer! Some of the scheduled acts that were set to play at Exposition Park on Saturday, July 21, and Sunday, July 22, will be back for their own headlining shows at the Echo, El Rey Theatre, Lazaro's Latin Lounge, the Roxy, the Observatory, Shrine Expo Hall, and the Wiltern. This includes shows coming up featuring Bicep, Car Seat Headrest, Glassjaw, Kali Uchis, My Bloody Valentine, Lawrence Rothman, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, U.S. Girls, and more.
