I would love to see Touche Amore and How to Dress Well. I deserve to win because I’ve never been to an FYF fest! I have lived in LA all my life and I have never been able to attend. Every year FYF happens a week into the school semester, however this year its going on 2 days before school! I would love to end this summer by attending for the first time FYF Fest and seeing two of my favorite bands!
much love,
Jose
that awesome moment when your iphone posts a comment before you’re done filling it out
// ANYWAY//
I’m excited to see :
Touché Amore, Deerhunter, TV on The Radio, Joyce Manor, Holy Ghost!, Eleanor Friedberger, Comedian Jonah Ray, Title Fight, Glasser, Guards
Why should I win:
I just moved to Los Angeles a few months ago and since moving here, I’m not gonna lie – the city of angels has been a little rougher than I was anticipating. If I were to win the opportunity to go to FYF and see these bands all in one weekend, it would help me enjoy the city, the music I love and be an awesome way to wind the summer down.
Thanks! Fingers crossed

Touché Amore, Deerhunter, TV on The Radio, Joyce Manor, Holy Ghost!, Eleanor Friedberger, Comedian Jonah Ray, Title Fight, Glasser, Guards
I’m excited to see TV On the Radio, Flag, Deerhunter, Devendra, Toro y Moi, the Oh Sees, Ty Segall, Foxygen, My Bloody Valentine, Beach House, Washed Out, the Melvins, Shlohmo, Kurt Vile, Baroness, Touche Amore, Classixx, Mikal Cronin! I should win because I haven’t won a ticket giveaway in a good while! Thanksssss!!!
I really would love the chance to see !!!, Flume, Classixx, yeah yeah yeahs, MGMT, toro y moi and STRFKR live! It’s the weekend before I head back to school and I can’t think of a more perfect way to end the summer than on such a music high! And enjoying it all in the city I’ve grown up in, I can only imagine it to be such a ridiculously insane good time.
Excited for mgmt and foxygen. I wanna go because I am officially broke. Can’t afford internet, so I’m posting this using my neighbours WiFi. Shhhh!
want to see the melvins, the breeders, ty segall, shlohmo very very verrrrrry badly. I should win cause i’ve never been to a music festival and cant afford to go to this one if I don’t win the tix. Honestly it would be the most magical fucking thing if I won i couldn’t even tell you. The location/the bands everything about it is perf except for the $$$.
I really want to see Flume, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Mac DeMarco, TV on the Radio, Shlohmo, Solange, MGMT!!!!
I think should win passes because after paying my tutition I am now a truly “broke college student” so this would be the ultimate way to celebrate my last weekend of freedom before I go back to school that Monday!
I’d love to see MGMT, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV On The Radio, My Bloody Valentine! I wish I could win those passes because I have been a victim of the layoffs in recent years and being unemployed and trying to get to find steady work is hard enough. imagine trying to go see any concerts or festivals. It’d be a dream come true.
I love to see MGMT, Mac Demarco, and Death Grips!! I have never been to FYF and I am tired of hearing my cousin and friends telling me how great it is! They go every year! I never go because I don”t have the money, all my money goes toward my education. This would make my summer x100!!!!
I need to see My Bloody Valentine. Arguably going to be the loudest set of the weekend.
I’m from Venezuela, but I’m spending this summer in LA, and I think it’s more than obvious that I don’t have that much money to afford the tickets. Basically the chances of seeing such an amazing bands and artists live, like My Bloody Valentine, Beach House, Yo la tengo, in my country are pretty much none, zero. And honestly I’ve never had the opportunity to experience this kind of thing, I’d really appreciate this.
I’m excited to see TV on the Radio, you should give me a pair of weekend passes because I’ve never been to FYF-fest and really want to experience it
Effff yeah FYF! Dying to go this year! Just wanna dance with somebody named !!!, definitely wanna sway to Beach House, and groove with Toro y Moi. Holy Ghost! and Flume are bucket lists for sure. Seriously want to take it all in – bask in the sun, assail my ears to the symphonic sounds and dance til my legs turn to jello!
mbv, death grips, the breeders , yyy’s ; winning an fyf ticket would turn my bummer summer to the most GOAT summer ever
I WANNA GO FOR MBV, YYYS, DEVENDRA,BREEDERS, BEACH HOUSE, AND FOXYGEN!!!!! :’))))
Less than a week ago, I came back from volunteering to teach English in Vietnam. I had an amazing and rewarding time, but I miss listening to alternative/indie rock and going to concerts here in California. Unfortunately, I used up a LOT of money on my trip–so I don’t have a lot to spend on concerts. I’ve never been to FYF Fest before, so this would be an incredible experience that I’ll never forget. I’d absolutely love to see Yeah Yeah Yeah’s (this band helped me through middle school), Beach House, and Toro Y Moi!
Being a Southern Californian, I’ve been wishing and dying to go to FYF Fest and experience all of its major epicness. The top bands that I am freaking out to see are Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio, MGMT, Beach House, and CHVRCHES. With these bands, FYF Fest will be a beerfilled funtastic musicthrill. If I had passes, I for one would definitely be dancing and singing to the wee hours. I better prepare for an epicness that weekend.
I’m honestly excited to see everyone, but most of all Death Grips. Saw them last year on my birthday at The Echoplex. They came out with two solid fantastic albums and they’re a band that just carries all that raw energy into the crowd that makes their shows absolutely wild! I would love to see them again. Thank!
would really love to see FLAG
Yes, please!
I’m stoked to possibly being able to see Mac Demarco, Flume, Glasser, Ty Segall, Shlohmo, Nosaj Thing, Washed Out and especially Toro y Moi! All these artists I named are in my list of my top favorite artists, so it’d be great to see them all live.
I really think I deserve these tickets because I’ve always been wanting to go to FYF Fest, but never had the time or the money to go, and I’ve missed all the opportunities I’ve had to see Toro y Moi (my all-time favorite artist).
The entire weekend looks amazing! Seeing Karen O for the first time would be the best birthday present. Not to mention if you pick me, I promise to get you drunk. Win, win for everyone right?
Dudes. Bros. Dudebros.
Never seen – Yeah Yeah Yeahs, My Bloody Valentine, Flag, The Breeders, Death Grips, MGMT, Les Savy Fav, Omar Souleyman, Mac DeMarco, Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees, Doug Benson, Brendon Small, Jonah Ray
Can’t wait to see again – TVOTR, Dan Deacon, Mikal Cronin, !!!, Crystal Antlers, Kumail Nanjiani.
This is one of the most righteous line ups I have ever seen. I’ll be in El Paso a few days before the fest. Money is tight but I could swing gas if I won tickets (It would also be easier to get someone to split gas if I could promise a free pass). I’ve never seen LA and this would be an incredible introduction.
I want to see title fight, mgmt and I always want to see more!
I have been dying to see How to Dress Well,Solange (who might have Blood Orange[DEV HYNES] playing with her!), Death Grips, Ty Segall, MGMT,Crystal Antlers,Mac DeMarco, My Bloody Valentine, Beach House and of course the YEAH YEAH YEAHS!
I’ve been trying to go to FYF since 2008 back when it was one day and only $25 but being broke most of the time as a high school kid back then and now as a broke college kid its difficult to just buy a weekend pass let alone a 70 dollar one day pass(which sold out fast) and it would be perfect if yall can help me out.
I’m most excited to see Mac Demarco, MGMT, My Bloody Valentine,Ty Segall, Toro Y Moi, Flume, Washed Out and Roky Erikson.
I’ve never seen any of the artists I’ve listed and It would be amazing to catch them at the park with my best friend cause we’re both broke.
I’d love to see everyone from 60s psychedelic pioneer Roky Erickson to newer acts like Shlohmo, Poolside, Flume, Classix and STRFKR.
I’ve associated some pretty incredible memories with FYF Fest from seeing Ryan Gosling grace the stage with Dead Man’s Bones in 2010 (back when tickets were still in the double digits), to Purity Ring absolutely kill it 2 years in a row.
There’s also been some less than savory memories from having allergy attacks because of the dust paths connecting the stages or heat exhaustion because the water ran out one year in the crazy hot summer weather. However its the amazing acts and probably something in the LA air or water that keeps me coming back for more. Thanks for considering me, and keep up the informative posts!
I want to see MBV! I went to my first Coachella in 2009 just to see them but had to leave on Sunday and since then i never got the chance to see them again 🙁
I want to see Poolside! Their California Sunset brought me through some difficult times. And some mellow days at the pool. Seeing them, MBV, Deerhunter, and MGMT (I actually like their new stuff) would make me and my girlfriend the happiest little campers in the west. Oh and Classixx kick ass too!
I’ve been eye-humping this linup since day 1 but I lack the funds to go… A free ticket would be so amazing, especially since these will be my last days of a short summer break before I go back to school! I could just list the whole lineup but decided to narrow it down to save space: YYY, TV On The Radio, Deerhunter, Simian Mobile Disco, Toro Y Moi, Strfkr, Thee Oh Sees (fuck yes), Ty Segall, Delorean, Crystal Antlers, Beach House, Washed Out, Holy Ghost!, Flume, !!!, Classixx
I just LOVE music! So I would totally enjoy watching all these bands (MGMT, Deerhunter, Beach House)..even the ones I’m not familiar with. That being said, I am a huge YYY fan! I’ve never seen Karen O. live and keep missing her every time she comes to town to perform. It would be so awesome to finally catch on of her shows. 🙂
Washed out and Beach House will be there this year and not to mention I’ve been waiting over half my life to see Yeah Yeah Yeahs! Give a poor college student a break 😛
This show looks totally awesome! With artists like Eleanor Friedberger, Flume, Foxygen, and !!! it’s can’t miss. Really would love to win tix.
I would love the opportunity to attend FYF this year because after the weekend the festival takes place, my social life will be no more. I work a full time job, will be starting a new semester of school, and devoting most of my time commuting, studying, and resting. I’ve only seen 1 band on that entire lineup, and spending my last free weekend at FYF sounds like the perfect way to go out with a bang. Washed Out, YYY’s, and TV On The Radio are the bands I’m most excited to see and are 3 very meaningful bands to me. I’ve never seen any of them and would be so grateful to see them perform while I still can, as well as discover new bands. Thank You.

Would love to win these tickets for my birthday as a penniless art college student. Amazing way to end off the summer before going back to being enslaved at school. Excited to see Devendra Banhart, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV On The Radio, Beach House, and many more! Crazy giveaway, go Grimy Goods!
Toro y Moi,Kurt Vile,Holy Ghost!,Washed Out,ANTWON and of course Chelsea Wolfe!! and pretty much just about all of the bands it’s just those are my favs!!!
Devendra Banhart and Deerhunter are two of my absolute favorites and I have yet to see either live. It would be an incredible summer LA experience before I leave the city!
Oh my lord! Flag, the Melvins, My Bloody Valentine, Breeders!! I love these bands and interested to see some new ones! This is by far the best fest of the summer!!
i’d love to catch toro y moi and nosaj thing live, chinatown is my backyard and the LA historic park is an amazing venue for music festivals.
I would love to see Yeah Yeah Yeahs, MGMT, & TV on the radio
TVOTR – I’ve never seen them
Beach House – tickets to their shows always sell put
Deerhunter – if Atlas Sound is amazing, then there is no word to describe this band
Thee Oh Sees – awesomeness
Title Fight, Touché Amore – were standouts at FYF 2 yrs ago
Crystal Antlers – because on day they will headline the festival
I wanna see Karen Oh for my birfday. Plus we share the same awesome name.
Wanna be a Feeder on the Breeders’ Last Splash
Want Enrichment from Jonathan Richman, Straight-Up Class
Bask in some Dan Deacon and his Beacons of Flash
YOLO for Yo La
and Can’t Lack Mac Demarco, oh, if I are Going to the Bash!
Historic, I want to get historic.
Thanks for the contest Grimy soooo Goods!!!
As a starving university student from Pomona, I’ll arrive to FYF via municipal public transit lines with a soul burning to listen to Thee Oh Sees, Beach House & Charles Bradley and His Extraordinaires because not many contemporaries can achieve the distinct sound that these music groups share during their performances. Inversely, I am beyond stoked to get funky and groove to Toro y Mari, Poolside, and MGMT.
Thank you.
I want to see Yeah Yeah Yeahs so Karen O. can kick me in the face and see My Bloody Valentine so I can feel mind-numbingly emotional. Woo!
Hi! At FYF, I would love to see Beach House, STRFKR, and TV on the Radio!
I would love to win these two passes because FYF is during my birthday weekend and I would be so stoked if I won two tickets for my birthday! Thanks for hosting giveaway!!! You guys rock!!!!!
Yeah Yeah Yeahs!!! The Breeders! Nosaj Things! MGMT! I MEAN KAREN O and also because my monopoly money was not acceptable currency when trying to purchase tickets neither was me trying to barter with all my properties i landed in jail (with NO get outta jail card) a couple times trying to develop them with houses and hotels but did they care nope! ……is it obvious that im broke as hell for any real fun and my summer fun may or may not have consisted of a never ending monopoly game?
pick me because I will buy you a pizza….pinky promise. I’m stoked to see shlohmo and toro y moi!!!
I think you guys should pick me because I’m a broke art student sooo many of my favorite artists are performing and it’s all at one festival such as: Toro Y Moi, Death Grips, Strfkr, Joyce Manor, Underachievers, MGMT, Solange, Beach House, Title Fight, Touche Amore, and more! This would mean a lot to me and i’d really appreciate it
