More Fun Fest Leaks: Hold Steady, RJD2, High on Fire & Dwarves

Alright, we'll confess. They're not really 'leaks' in the proper sense of the word. Since Austinist is a proud media sponsor for Fun Fun Fun Fest, so we might get to hear about a few things before you do.

We've already revealed some other great news about the lineup (full lineup coming soon), but we're really excited about these bits. The Hold Steady will be joining the festivities this year. Loved by all, the Hold Steady do a lot of things right. Perhaps first and foremost, they put on a kick-ass live show. XL producer / DJ RJD2 will undoubtedly bring an incredible set as well, continuing the Fun Fest tradition of including prominent and upcoming electronic and DJ artists.

Looking for some sludgy stoner metal? Well, they've got that too with High on Fire, who promise to bring out all the hallucinogenics to the yard. Between them and Dwarves, the punk band founded in the '80s, we're sure to have some legendary mosh pits and awkward hugs.

Oh, and Gladiators.
