I figured that, since I’ll be in attendance at the festival and will be composing an event wrap-up, I’d go ahead and post all of this wonderful information for my readers. This looks to be quite the amazing festival.

From the press release:
“Austin’s Fun Fun Fun Fest is a one-of-a-kind music festival that is known for showcasing the best in independent, progressive, and underground music. Earlier this year, FFFF promoters announced the initial line up, featuring a one-time Dead Milkmen reunion, Bad Brains, The National, Atmosphere, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Clipse, The Black Angels, The Black Heart Procession, Municipal Waste, The Octopus Project, Z-trip, Dan Deacon, and plenty more. In addition to the musical line up, this year, the festival will incorporate comedy acts like Tim & Eric’s Awesome Show, Neil Hamburger, Dragon Boy Suede, Matt Bearden, and others.

Transmission Entertainment also is selling single day passes along with the full lineup by stage, day, and time. Pick your one day pass up for $34.99 or a discounted 2 day pass for $59.99. For more info and to purchase tickets go to the festival website.”

After the jump, I’ve posted the show lineups, my preferences for what shows I’ll be attending, and the official after party schedule.
