FYF Fest is less than a month away and you can officially start planning your festival weekend, because the set times are here. This will be FYF's 14th year in action and the festival has has come a long way from its early days at the Echo, when it still had an actual expletive in its name.
This year's festival will take place July 21 to 23 at Exposition Park and be headlined by Missy Elliott, Björk, Frank Ocean, Nine Inch Nails, A Tribe Called Quest, Iggy Pop, and Solange. The full day-by-day schedule breakdown is below. For those who really like to plan, the 2017 FYF Fest app is also now available (download it here for iOS and here for Android).

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
