Devo, MGMT, Mastodon, GWAR and Weird Al Yankovic head up the full Fun Fun Fun Fest lineup
After a series of tongue-decidedly-in-cheek lineup announcements that referenced “Caddyshack,” “Airwolf” and “American Gladiators” throughout July, Austin music booking and promotions agency Transmission Entertainment announced the full lineup of the annual Fun Fun Fun Fest today. And those pleased by the festival’s goofy Modus operandi and 80s nostalgia will no doubt appreciate the biggest news: the Fun Fun Fun Fest will celebrate its fifth anniversary with the addition of a third night, a kickoff Friday evening show on November 5 from pop music satirist supreme “Weird Al” Yankovic.
Aside from that bombshell news, the festival’s full lineup also includes new wave pioneers Devo, synthpop sensations MGMT, indie rock darling Wavves, prog metal favorites Mastodon, Southern California punk rock classic Bad Religion, DJ and one-half of Chromeo A-Trak, Deakin of Animal Collective and electronica quartet Cold Cave, among many others. They join previously announced artists Suicidal Tendencies, Best Coast, Slick Rick, Snapcase, the Dirty Projectors, Yelle, the Gories, Cap’n Jazz, RJD2, the Dwarves, High on Fire and the Hold Steady. As usual, a number of local artists fill out the bill, including classically influenced pop collective Mother Falcon, sludge rockers Woven Bones, hip-hop collective League of Extraordinary Gz and Butcher Bear and Charlie.
It’s a strong lineup from the little festival that could, which began as a single-day shindig in 2006 and has quickly grown into a preeminent festival for punk rock, electronica, hip-hop, indie rock and all the other sounds that draw a crowd on Red River Street on any given night. The Fun Fun Fun Fest commandeers Waterloo Park November 5-7. Early-bird tickets are on sale now at the official website. Catch the full lineup after the jump.

There’s only one band in the line-up I want to see. They are insane to ask me to pay $120 for a single ticket.
