This year's Fun Fun Fun Fest lineup was revealed Thursday.

Marketing Director of Transmission Entertainment Matt Mandrella said the lineup is a dream.

“We feel like this is the most solid line up we’ve ever pulled off in our seven years,” he said. “We take a lot of pride in booking reunions and stuff that is kind of off of people’s radar that people really haven’t been listening too and we take an equal amount of pride in booking what we feel are going to be the acts that really progress into being bigger acts as their careers develop.”

They have four different stages which are marked by colors.

The orange stage is the indie stage, where you’ll see bands like Head and the Heart and Explosive in the Skies. The black stage will feature hardcore punk and metal bands. The blue stage will feature hip hop and electronic bands like Run DMC and Girl Talk.

Finally, there’s the yellow stage, which is the smallest stage. The stage will feature comedy acts and comedians like David Cross.

This year’s Fun Fun Fun Fest is November 2-4.
