Update: Looks like the Descendents will be filling the Devo void. Well done, FFFFun
Well, nothing about this sounds like fun at all. Devo guitarist Bob Mothersbaugh cut his hand pretty badly (”to the bone!”) and they’ve had to cancel their headlining slot at Sunday’s Fun Fun Fun Fest. Bummer indeed. Of course, never one to pass up a social media opportunity, @funfunfunfest has been soliciting suggestions for replacements on Twitter. Next year, they should just let fans book the entire festival through Twitter and Facebook! We’re actually pretty excited to see who Transmission comes up with as a replacement - they’ve vowed to dole out the full Devo money in their hunt, and if we were going throw in our chips on anyone being able to pull a pretty awesome act out of their ass at the last minute, it would definitely be the Transmission folks. So the obvious question (other than what the hell are they going to do with all the misprinted posters now) is who do you want to see at take up the headlining banner at Fun Fun Fun Fest? Tix are also still on sale for both the full weekend and individual days, and though we were really excited for Devo, the rest of the lineup still remains damned impressive enough for us. Meanwhile, the countdown to find a replacement is on, as FFFFest deploys next Friday, November 5. Weird Al is going to have to seriously step up his game now, and this totally dashes our hopes of seeing a collaboration on “Dare to Be Stupid.”
