I would love love love to experience FYF because I’ve never been and I absolutely love going to festivals and this would be great seeing good bands at LA historic park, I would love to experience the view of sunset at LA historic park while watching these great bands
THE BREEDERS!!! Last Splash changed my life. After watching the Cannonball video (over and over…) I realized my love for Kim Deal. And a few months later I came out of the closet 🙂
Being a fan of punctuation I of course am anxiously awaiting the performance of !!!! Everyone here will write how they are sooo into music and how their love of these bands should earn them the right to go. I will not do that. I will simply state that when it comes time to use the port-a-potties I will put myself on a strict 30-second time limit.
So I’m your classic broke college student who hasn’t gone to a music festival in ages.The line up for FYF this year is crazy and if I miss another year while living in LA…. I don’t know I’m going to do. I really want to see Devendra Banhart, Joyce Manor, Death Grips (hopefully they show unlike Lollapalooza), Toro Y Moi, Washed Out, Crystal Antlers, Beach House, Yo La Tengo, Holy Ghost!, Flume, Poolside, Glasser, How to Dress Well, and of course the headliners. Help me Grimy Goods — you’re my only hope!
*intentional Star Wars reference for mutual feeling of nostalgia and awesomeness
I would LOOOOVE to see yeah yeah yeahs! and MGMT! Holy Ghost and Washed out too omg this would make my summer I’ve heard so much about FYF!! so excited to see the results (:!
I’m most excited to see My Bloody Valentine and Beach House but at festivals I always find new bands that I wouldn’t normally see too. If I won tickets I would be able to take a friend that probably wouldn’t be able to go otherwise. Thanks!
I’m ready to have my ears beat to a pulp….Death Grips, My Bloody Valentine, Metz, Baroness, and The Melvins??? Oh it’s gonna hurt so good.
FYF would be amazing because I never thought I would be able to see the breeders (last splash lineup!) or my bloody valentine, ever, and I could see BOTH!!! not to mention yo la tengo, flag, washed out, nosaj thing, holy ghost, toro y moi, jonathan richman, kurt vile…….
I LOVE music festivals and haven’t had the chance to go to FYF Fest yet 🙁 If I went this year I would want to see TV On the Radio, Beach House, MGMT, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Washed Out, and to discover some new bands that I haven’t listened to much. Mostly I would just appreciate the experience (:
I want tickets to FYF so that I can see Devendra, Beach House, DeerHunter, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and other cool bands. It would make my summer even better.
Finally! An FYF not to be missed. Essential bands: FLAG (will Greg Ginn be there throwing rotten tomatoes? Serving subpoenas? We just don’t know! Also, Keith Morris. I mean.), Roky mufuckin Erickson (who isn’t obsessed with the psychedelic legend? Dude was BOUT THAT LIFE), Death Grips (Obsessed. If they don’t show up, I’m fully prepared to destroy their equipment like those kids did last Friday), The Locust (new wave synthy powerviolence! Costumes! Hello!), Breeders (not so much, but my Pixies loyalty is absolute and unwavering), Chelsea Wolfe (haven’t seen her yet, but my friends are obsessed. I trust their judgement.) Also, Simian Mobile Disco has decent remixes, but one of the best names ever, and Devendra Banhart chatted me up once at a bookstore, so I’m thinking he’s wondering if I’ll be there… What happens at FYF stays at FYF right??
I would love to see MGMT’s Oracular Spectacular performance, have a Date with the Night with the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, and get into some Trouble with Beach House.
My mom promised me FYF tickets and she never came through so now I have to see all my friends go enjoy it while ill be at home that weekend. I literally want to see all the bands there i really can’t wait to see mgmt, title fight, yeah yeah yeahs, toro y moi and more.
I need tickets because all my favorite bands are in small type on the poster and I spent all my money on a Kickstarter for cricket flour brownies.
I entered your contest for a chance to win the pair of tickets to FYF. I would love the opportunity to see Guards, Devendra Banhart, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs!
Haven’t been to FYF in two years and this year I can drink and I’m SINGLE! I wanna see Beach House, Black Flag, Ty Segall, STRFKR, Thee Oh Sees, The Orwells and let’s no forget The Breeders!!!
I must see my bloody valentine!!! I never thought in my years on this earth would they be playing in my backyard!!! XD
I’m excited for Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Toro Y Moi, Simian Mobile Disco & Bicep (This should be special), Dan Deacon, Horse Meat Disco, MY BLOODY VALENTINE (FOR REAL!) Solange, Washed Out, !!! (‘Cause I missed them at the El Rey) & Classix! I think I should win because last year was shitty. This year has been looking up big time. Finally working and I’ve met some awesome people to bring positive vibes back into my life. I COULD purchase these tickets, but who doesn’t like to save money? Would add to how great the year is turning out to be if I won these! My birthday is on the 12th. Would be a nice late birthday gift. Also, Grimy Goods rocks!
I would love to see the breeders performing last splash. I love the idea of bands performing an entire album. I was fortunate enough to see Kim perform Doolittle with the pixies a few years back. also exciting to be introduced to some new bands. thx.
Toro y Moi is my all time favorite anything! Their sound is so original and see them would be the best summer ever!
Grimy Goods, I’m so exited that WHEN I win your contest I get to see so many good bands and don’t have to choose between going only one day or the other. I really really want to see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and i believe that Saturday’s lineup is more eclectic and well rounded. but who would want to miss MGMT, !!!, Washed Out, and Beach House! I will see you guys there (as soon as you chose me to win the tickets!)
I am looking forward to see TV on the Radio, SMD, Washed Out, Beach House, Toro y Moi, Nosaj thing, oh god and many more! Total music overload..
I need to see Mikal Cronin, Mac DeMarco, and My Bloody Valentine all in one weekend please!
Would love to hang out in a park and hear The Breeders play Last Splash. I think Les Savy Fav are also high on my list of bands I must see!!!
I’m excited to see MGMT and Solange! I’ve been to FYF two years in a row but this year I’m broke and would hate to miss out!
I am so stoked on seeing DEATH GRIPS. I haven’t been to any of their shows but I hear shit gets wild and I’m in need of some wild shit in my life. Others are My Bloody Valentine (obviously), Devendra Banhart, Classixx, Starfucker, Simian Mobile Disco, Kurt Vile, Flume, Washed Out and, well, this is going to be a long list so let’s just say I want to go to this fucking thing. Hopefully you can reach down inside that warm (because youre so kind) and disease-free (because you’re so fit and healthy) heart and give me some sugah.
Would loooooove to see the Breeders!! Deerhunter too but what memories I have attached to the Last Spash album! Agh!! ☺ ♫
I’m excited to see mbv and tv on the radio!! 🙂
I never thought I’d get to see My Bloody Valentine, Deerhunter, Mgmt and The Breeders all in one weekend… Oh how wrong was I!!!!..
I want to see TV on the Radio, MBV, Death Grips if they decide to show, Toro, Mac DeMarco.
I can’t wait to see ty segall, mikal cronin, roky ericson, thee oh sees, the melvins, the locust, and death grips! i really hope to win these tickets FYF is thee best fest iv’e ever been to and the lineup this year is killer.
If I won the tickets I would be SO excited to see TV on the Radio and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, two of my all-time favorite bands who I have yet to see in concert. I’d also love to see Toro Y Moi, The Breeders, Beach House, Washed Out, Devendra Banhart, Solange, Glasser, Foxygen, Flume & of course the bands I’m less familiar with since half the fun of festivals is getting to know music you otherwise might not have discovered. I should win because an overdue fix-it ticket & car registration totally sucked the fun out of my summer & these tickets would make my forced seclusion for the last two months totally worth it!
I’m excited to see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio, Devendra Banhart, Simian Mobile Disco, My Bloody Valentine, Yo La Tengo, !!!, Chelsea Wolfe….the list goes on and on. I would love to win tickets to fyf because my summer hasn’t included a lot of shows 🙁 due to the budgetary constraints of being a recent college grad. Please let me win these tickets!
FLAG because Black Flag at the observatory sucked, and i’ve heard nothing but good things with the original singer!! And Tv on the Radio because anyone with ears likes them!!
The best festival on earth! I want to see Deerhunter, The Melvins, The Breeders, Crystal Antlers and of course the mega super-fantastic MY BLOODY VALENTINE!
It would be so rad to see FLAG reunited again, Death Grips, Holy Ghost, How to Dress Well… I could go on. Overall its a sick lineup and I want a brutal pit. When do you see bands like this on a FYF bill? \m/
TV on the Radio, cause how often do you get a chance to see them? We should get the passes cause by December, my wife and I will have our second child and our ability to attend weekend music festivals will be pretty restricted. It’s now or never!
Excited for The Breeders, Roky Erickson, Baroness, MGMT and of course THE MELVINS!
my bloody valentine!
Wow…what a lineup. I would love to see TV on the Radio, !!!, Charles Bradley, and Classixxx…oh and who can refuse wanting to hear Last Splash in its entirety?
I want to see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Oh Sees, Ty segall, toro y moi, !!!, poolside, and devendra banhart. I should win bc I’m a broke college student that doesnt have enough money to see these awesome bands :(.
Death Grips and MGMT!
Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Breeders, Toro Y Moi, MGMT, Washed Out, Poolside, The Melvins and Flag are the ones I’m the most stoked about seeing! And it’ll be my first FYF show if I win!
I am really excited to see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, MGMT, Flag, My Bloody Valentine, and Deerhunter. I would like the passes, because I had a lot of fun last year and I really can’t wait until this year!
I reallly want to see Devendra Banhart, Toro Y Moi, Classixx, Beach House, Simian Mobile Disco, Poolside, Flume, Washed out and ughhh MGMT, I really should win these tickets because I start school 2 weeks before the fest and it would be the best thing to end my summer vacation. Be nice yeah and give me the tickets, please :))
So ready to see Solange
I’m excited to see Yeah Yeah Yeahs and MGMT! I should win the passes because I’ve never been and it would be my birthday weekend! It would make my birthday THE BEST EVER!
I would love to see Yeah Yeah Yeahs, MGMT, TV on the radio, washed out, Holy Ghost!! I’ve never been to FYF and always heard its amazing. This would rock my world, twice.
I want to go back to my favorite festival and close out the summer the right way to the tunes of TV on the Radio, !!!, Simian Mobile Disco (again woo) and Classixxx!
I’m excited to see Yeah Yeah Yeahs and MGMT!
