This year’s planned ‘FYF Fest‘ has been cancelled. Glassjaw and Youth Code were among the scheduled performers for the event, which was to be held July 21st & 22nd at the Exposition Park in Los Angeles, CA. Planned headliners included Janet Jackson, Florence + The Machine, Future, St. Vincent and more. The festival’s organizers commented via social media:
“After much consideration, we have made the difficult decision to cancel FYF Fest 2018.
Our team of many women and men have worked tirelessly on this event for many years but felt unable to present an experience on par with the expectations of our loyal fans and the Los Angeles music community this year.
We will be announcing some special local shows soon, featuring some of the amazing artists from the 2018 line up.
Ticket purchasers will automatically receive full refunds, including all service charges, beginning this Monday, May 7th, 2018. There is no action necessary on your end to receive a refund. You will receive an email notification from Festival Ticketing once your order is cancelled and refunded. Please allow 5 to 7 business days for the funds to appear in your bank account.”
Billboard.com report that poor ticket sales were to blame for the cancellation.
