LCD Soundsystem added another festival to its reunion victory lap today: the group will headline FYF later this summer. The other marquee acts include Kendrick Lamar, Tame Impala, and Grace Jones. Much of the lineup pulls from indie rock—Father John Misty, Wolf Parade, Beach House, Wild Nothing—and rap: Vince Staples, Young Thug, and Rae Sremmurd. Notably ANOHNI will perform her new album HOPELESSNESS on the west coast for the first time at FYF.

The festival takes place August 27 and 28 at Exposition Park in Los Angeles. Tickets go on sale here April 1 at noon.
