Labor Day weekend FYF Fest will convert downtown LA into a haven for all music types alike.  The young festival manages to coordinate one of the better festival lineups of the year.  2012 ubiquitous headliners M83, Refused, and Beirut are joined by the long silent The Faint and nearly a hundred other musical acts and comedians.  FYF does a great job covering the genre gamut with James Blake, Sleigh Bells, Tanlines, Future Islands, Against Me!, Twin Shadow, Converge, and Aesop Rock.  Tickets are still available at the SITE.  Check out a playlist of acts we’re excited about seeing and the festival poster after the jump.  See you there!
