Fun Fun Fun Fest announced today some new additions to this year’s festival lineup, including SPOON, Black Lips, Cannibal Corpse, Omar Souleyman, Sergio “Sexy Sax Man” Flores and more!

SPOON are returning after headlining the inaugural FFF fest in 2006, which also happens to be their only date, in U.S. or Europe, in 2011. They are performing along with punk and garage kings, the Black Lips, American death metal band Cannibal Corpse, Syrian pop sensation Omar Souleyman, and more. These late additions join previously announced headlining acts such as Passion Pit, Slayer, Public Enemy, The Damned, Hot Snakes (reunion), Hum, and Danzig Legacy Tour. And, as a special treat the guys at Fun Fun Fun Fest are bringing in Sergio “Sexy Sax Man” Flores, whom you may remember from his sexy sax serenades in shopping malls on YouTube (currently @ over 8MM views) to sax up the crowd between sets.  

Some new additions have also been added to this year’s yellow stage, including the Air Sex Competition, Dating Game, New Movement Comedy, Rap Battle Royal, Master Pancake’s Video Jukebox, Brett Gelman, Adira Amram, Johnny Pemberton, Cameron Buchholt, Jake Flores, and Doug Mellard. The new acts join already the already announced Henry Rollins, Reggie Watts, Brian Posehn, Upright Citizens Brigade, Turquoise Jeep and more.

FFF is also proud to announce the first ever Fun Fun Fun Fest Water Olympics, which will take place in Austin at Fiesta Gardens on September 11th. The fest will celebrate its new location on the banks of Town Lake at Auditorium Shores by offering contests where the winners can take home great prizes, such as weekend passes to the fest. Contests will include stand up paddle board jousting, freestyle, and high kick competitions, as well as canoe jousting, a canoe and SUP relay race and a friendly game of tug of war with Waterloo vs Auditorium Shores teams. Registration starts at noon, and the event goes from 2 – 6pm. Austin Facial Hair Club will be providing the food, security, and grooming tips.

The festival will also hold the annual Austin scavenger hunts, which sends music fans on a mad dash around town marking bizarre and sometimes filthy deeds off their target lists in an effort to win passes and other Fun Fun Fun gear. The Austin scavenger hunts are scheduled for October 1st, and there will also be hunts in Dallas, produced by the Grenada Theater. Please check funfunfunfest.com for more details.
