Breaking: Austinist Releases Official Fun Fest 2008 Lineup
Austinist is happy to announce this year's line-up for the Fun Fun Fun Festival happening at Waterloo Park on November 8 & 9. Once again, we're proud media sponsors, and will be bringing you all the news and coverage you'll need to be prepared for two incredibly packed days of music.
As expected, the lineup reflects a myriad of influences, tastes and genres. Fans of hardcore and punk will be watching acts like Bad Brains, ALL and the Dead Milkmen, while more center-aligned indie rock fans will experience everything from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! to the National, to St. Vincent to Deerhoof.
The meat of the lineup is healthy throughout, as hip hop acts like Clipse and comedy acts like Tim & Eric's Awesome Show (Great Job) round things out. Bring your dancing shoes, though: Dan Deacon makes an appearance this year, as do YACHT and Dr. Octagon.
Visit our own dedicated Fun Fest page for music samples of performing artists, after party information, all our coverage, the full lineup and much more, including photos and video from last year's festival. Tickets go on sale soon, and are $59.99 for the two day pass. Not a bad deal, not bad at all.
