FYF Fest 2018 canceled

The 2018 installment of FYF Fest has been canceled. The event had been scheduled to take place on July 21 and 22 in Los Angeles, CA and was to feature Glassjaw, My Bloody Valentine, and The Breeders, among many others. Festival organizers had this to say: "Our team of many women and men have worked tirelessly on this event for many years but felt unable to present an experience on par with the expectations of our loyal fans and the Los Angeles music community this year." Meanwhile, Billboard says that festival owners Goldenvoice and AEG Live scrapped the event as a result of poor ticket sales.

"Our team of many women and men" Love how they ordered the sequence here. Feminism rears its ugly head once again Maybe they have more women than man working on the fest? Or maybe they are trying to make a lame point in an equally lame, yet innocuous way? Or maybe you're a triggered incel b*tch?

Yo, Alex Koehler is Dead!!! Y'all can call me Grudges now

Joe Hardcore here. These guys putting on this fest should learn a thing or two about fests from me. I make fun of kids dying and then get scolded by Wes Eisold and had to immediately backtrack on my moronic stance because I don't realize I planted my foot directly into my mouth, FSU style!! I continually book bands with members who are accused of sexual assualt and don't give a fck. Come to my fest. Let me mock you for doing so. FOREVER.STANDING.UNITED.

Or maybe you're a triggered incel b*tch? I think that description covers a large portion of regular posters here.

Book a decent lineup and you will sell tickets. Very simple fest rules. Really the only important rule. The lineup is everything, and this year it was WEAK. AS. fck. - Chad Fjerstad

pretty sure it's canceled because the founder, sean carlson, is a creep and involved in at least 4 sexual assault cases as of November 2017. No artist in their right mind would associate themselves with that guy or anything he is/was directly involved in...the intro sentence probs an attempt at saving face...

Lol at women not being able to do anything right and being the number one cause for scenes coming to end

anonymous 5/7/2018 6:48:38 PM

^ beat me to it

anonymous 5/8/2018 7:08:48 AM

so wait, you prioritized put women in charge to earn diversity points instead of prioritizing people (men AND women) who actually know wtf they're doing, and big surprise, it didn't work out?

SN00PY 5/11/2018 7:30:48 AM

Don't forget that gender and SEX is apparently not binary but rather fluid you fcking incompetent femme-twats
