No more leaks. No more hints or teases. Fun Fun Fun Fest has announced its full lineup for FFF 2012. Ready for the whole list? Then here we go.
No doubt about it: After the reformed Run-D.M.C., the biggest announcement has to be the return of dub-punk sonic experimenters Public Image Limited. Equally stunning if you know your emo history (real emo, not eyeliner emo) then the arrival of The Promise Ring will be unmissable. Plus Rakim isn't the only act making up for a 2011 no-show: X will be playing the entirety of 1980's seminal Los Angeles. Rapper A$AP Rocky comes with SXSW buzz still blazing, while Doomtree ally Astronautalis redefines freestyle. We'll expect Peelander Z and Valient Thorr to bring the fun, Dwarves to bring the squalor, and Bun B to keep it all trill.
It's also a big year for local favorites, with The Black Angels, Explosions in the Sky, And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead, Riverboat Gamblers, The Sword and Octopus Project all making a return to the FFF stages.
