Fun Fun Fun Fest Announce 2015 Line-Up

It’s official, music festival season is upon us.

After last night’s rapid-fire release from Riot Fest, we thought we would be able to recuperate before another festival would give us their line-up, but Fun Fun Fun Fest had other plans.

Earlier today, the Austin-based music festival released the complete list of artists who will be heading to Texas at the beginning of November for the weekend-long festivities which will also mark its tenth anniversary (or birthday).

The line-up includes acts like: D’Angelo, CHVRCHES, ScHoolboy Q, NOFX, American Football, Conor Oberst’s Desaparecidos, and a couple of artists who appear to be heading out on the music festival circuit this year, Wu Tang Clan, Coheed and Cambria, and Dwarves.

Jane Addiction and Gogol Bordello are also slated to appear. Each band will be performing an album in full; Jane Addition will perform 1990’s Ritual de lo Habitual while Gogol Bordello will perform 2005’s Gypsy Punks.

Check out the poster below for the complete list of bands/performers.

Fun Fun Fun Fest will take place during the weekend of Nov. 6-8 at Auditorium Shore. Three-day and VIP passes are currently available at Fun Fun Fun Fest’s website.
