After not one, but two Fun Fun Fun Fest leaks, the full lineup for Fun Fun Fun Fest 8 has been officially revealed. Something must be in the air for 2013 festivals, because all in addition to Chicago’s Riot Fest, FFFF8 features a number of bands that were (and continue to be) near and dear to my heart back when I was a teenager discovering life. Some of my personal highlights for the 8th Fun Fun Fun Festival include Blake Schwarzenbach (Jawbreaker), Melt-Banana, The Impossibles, Daniel Johnston, and Action Bronson. Hell, I’d fly down to Austin just for Black Schwarzenbach alone, but with the additions of Melt-Banana and a reunited The Impossibles?! Wow.
You can check out the full lineup below, which includes other notable acts as M.I.A., Ice-T, Kurt Vile & the Violators, Lupe Fiasco, Snoop Dogg, Dessa, Descendants, The Locust, and so, so many more. Tickets are available on the Fun Fun Fun Fest website.
