This year's FYF Fest boasts a pretty killer lineup (Kendrick! Rae Sremmurd! Grimes!), and today they've released their food lineup, ensuring you won't go hungry in between sets. Nosh on a Yeastie Boys bagel sandwich while you wait for Wolf Parade to hit the stage.Here it is, via Thrillist:
- Beer Belly
- Donut Friend
- Easy's (a concept by Alvin Cailan of Unit 120)
- Fritzi Dog
- Genghis Cohen
- Good Greek Grill
- Ike's Place
- Mainland Poke
- Ramen Hood
- Salt & Straw
- Sunny Blue
- Yeastie Boys
Easy's will be a burger pop-up from Alvin Cailan of Eggslut and the Chinatown incubator Unit 120. According to Thrillist, popular K-Town gastropub Beer Belly will be dishing out their loaded french fries. Sunny Blue is the self-proclaimed "first and only" store in Southern California to specialized in omusubi or onigiri, the Japanese rice balls stuffed with filling. It'll probably be hot that weekend (it'll be a weekend in August, after all), so chase all of it with some ice cream from Portland transplants Salt & Straw.
General admission weekend and Saturday-only passes have sold out already, but VIP passes and Sunday GA passes are still available at FYFFest.com.

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.
