FYF Fest: The must-see acts and the maybes, an hour-by-hour guide
The FYF Fest marks the unofficial close of the outdoor rock 'n' roll festival season, bringing it to an end with dissonant guitars, vocal yelps, disaffected beach-bum punks and even a song or two inspired by the Civil War. Thirty bands and three stages, the all-day affair at the L.A. State Historic Park falls somewhere between a neighborhood block party and Chicago's Pitchfork Music Festival, taking a smaller, more targeted approach to the multi-act bill.
