FYF Fest Adds Dillinger Escape Plan to Save State Parks

THE-POSTER-8-web.png Dan Deacon, Dillinger Escape Plan and Torche have been added to the FYF Fest line-up, which benefits California State Parks this year. For the $20 that will will go towards helping keep state parks open in California, audiences can see over 20 bands including the Black Lips, No Age, Mika Miko, Crystal Antlers, Peanut Butter Wolf, Avi Buffalo and many more. "That is 60 cents a band!!!!" organizers exclaimed in an e-mail today. Check out the full line up here, a schedule will be announced next week. The festival, scheduled for September 5th, will also include a kissing booth, taco eating contest, dance offs, a record fair, face painting and a 'missed connections' center. "This will be the best day of summer and it's all for a good cause, to build awareness about the possible closure of our beautiful state parks," they say.

Interesting. I've never seen a festival without a headliner.

They actually have a decent line up this year.

where does it say that the $20 will go towards helping keep state parks open in California?

The website says they're "raising awareness of the possible closure of up to 100 State Parks." but makes I can't find any mention that any part of the money will be going to a cause outside of the festival itself.
