For the past couple of years FYF Fest (which stands for Fuck Yeah Fest) has been making more and more of a name for itself in the festival circuit.

Each year, it gets bigger and bigger acts, while remaining a show that gathers together an array of bonafide indie stars and starlets. Put it this way: When the already quite famous rapper and singer Frank Ocean cancelled his headlining slot this past year at the last minute, FYF was able to snag Kanye West to fill in. If that isn't a sign of the festival's success, than I don't know what is.

As I've said in a previous article on Coachella, I am approaching FYF veteran status, as I have attended the past four years (and its only been going for 10). And also like Coachella, FYF has changed a lot over the time I have been attending. FYF has ballooned in size and subsequently changed its venue to the USC Coliseum and surrounding Exposition Park last year. But overall, FYF hasn't sold out in quite the way Coachella has been accused of doing. In fact, FYF has been lauded for its growing popularity and simultaneous sticking to its roots, making it a significant festival for its authenticity. This is why, regardless of your opinions on the burgeoning festival scene and its many iterations, FYF's acts are worth discussing.

Well yesterday, FYF released this year's lineup, and I can definitively say it does not disappoint at all. In fact, this lineup makes we want to say, "Fuck yeah!" Just the top two headliners for each day are enough to make the tickets worth their value with high-profile showstoppers from a number of genres: rap god (and arguably the most important rapper of our time) Kendrick Lamar, Australian indie psych-rock darlings Tame Impala; alternative rockers/dance mainstay LCD Soundsystem (who are also playing at Coachella as part of their reunion tour) and all-around icon Grace Jones.

With headliners that good, usually, I'd expect the rest of the lineup to be rather subpar, but the hits just keep on coming. On Saturday alone one can see the French electronic duo AIR, the experimental psychpop superstar Grimes, Hot Chip, a DJ set by Moby (and his DJ work is incredibly different than what you'd expect as a Moby fan but also incredibly awesome), rapper Vince Staples on the heels of his critically acclaimed debut album, indie rockers Wolf Parade for the first time since their 2011 hiatus, garage rock god Ty Segall with his new backing band, The Muggers, another Australian psych band in the form of Jagwar Ma; indie legends Peter Bjorn and John and indie rockers DIIV.

As for Sunday, the list continues with acts including the dreamy rockers Beach House, the irreverent yet vulnerable folk rocker Father John Misty, the commercially successful rap duo Rae Sremmurd, the amazing R&B-electronica mashup created by Dev Hynes as Blood Orange, the Pitchfork-approved trap rapper Young Thug, funk icon Charles Bradley and His Extraordinaires, garage rockers Black Lips, indie shoegaze from Wild Nothing, producer Gold Panda, Canadian post-punkers Viet Cong and up-and-coming cloud rapper Denzel Curry.

This phenomenal lineup, combined with the amazing experience I had at FYF last year – despite the changes its undergone – leaves me with a warm feeling about the festival. Unlike the general meh-ness I am expecting from Coachella this year in its continued identity loss, FYF seems like it's the new indie-commerical hybrid festival here to stay for quite a while. And tickets go on sale this Friday, so there is still a chance to nab a ticket to this musically varied showcase. I hope to see you there! Check out the rest of the lineup below!
