It’s all fun at Waterloo Park

Fun Fun Fun Fest, now in its fourth year, helps promote bands whose music is bubbling from the underground and impacting the musical scene in ways that go unnoticed by mainstream media.

Located in Waterloo Park, smack dab in the heart of downtown Austin, FFF supplies its audience with four core stages that highlight some of the most progressive acts in the punk/hardcore, indie rock, hip-hop, electro and comedy scenes.

The festival also boasts that it allows show-goers to get more bang for their buck. Fun Fun Fun Fest allows attendees to catch rising artists up close, witness the reunion of some of their favorite bands from the past, and discover new music that they might never get the opportunity to hear and fall in love with— all for under a dollar per act.

This year’s anticipated acts include: Of Montreal, Destroyer, Ratatat, Crystal Castles, Les Savy Fav, Danzig, Jesus Lizard, The Cool Kids, comedian Brian Posehn, and the comedy troupe Whitest Kids U’Know.

Lesser known bands also contribute to the madness that claims to provide 90 acts in total.

“I know I’m personally stoked to see Crystal Castles and Of Montreal perform live because I know it’s going to be one gigantic, chaotic dance party,” Freshmen Kelly Zhu said. “I’m also looking forward to seeing a whole bunch of new bands I will probably end up liking.”

The two-day festival runs Nov. 8 and 9. Weekend passes are currently on sale for $75, and PIP (Pretty Important Person) Weekend Passes starting at $150. PIP Pass-holders are entitled to certain luxuries like Private PIP Bathrooms and special viewing terraces.
