Fun Fun Fun Fest 2011: Lineup Announced and it is LOADED! Slayer, Passion Pit, Public Enemy among stage headliners

The 2011 Fun Fun Fun Festival lineup was announced this week, and from the look of it, the folks at Transmission Entertainment are gunning for ACL. The list (below) is very solid from top to bottom, with a mix of stars, legends and up-and-comers of varying levels. You have one of Slayer, one of the "Big Four" thrash metal acts. Public Enemy and Rakim -- two New York hip-hop legends who broke out around the same time in the 80s -- will be on hand to rock the mic and shake the speakers. Some hot acts like Passion Pit, Odd Future, Lykke Li, tUnE-yArDs and Neon Indian are on hand, as are a reformed Hot Snakes and amazing Tuareg groovemasters Tinariwen, who I'm really excited about (check out the video at the bottom of the post). Solid. Very.

Lots of writers are reviewing the menu and offering up their suggestions:

• Brooklyn Vegan calls it "[a]nother amazing year!" and lists Slayer, Thee Oh Sees, Public Enemy, Girls, Danzig Legacy, (Danzig + Doyle von Frankenstein playing Misfits, Samhain & Danzig), Hot Snakes, Diplo, Major Lazer, Henry Rollins, Ted Leo & The Phramacists, Spank Rock, Murder City Devils, Hum, Lykke Li, Passion Pit, Four Tet, Rakim, The Damned, Austra, Purity Ring, and Flynt Flossy.
• Stereogum has a good amount of overlap, citing Slayer, PE, Odd Future, tUnE-yArDs, Neon Indian, Hum, Four Tet, Lykke Li, Flying Lotus, Girls, M83, Okkervil River, Danzig Legacy, Donald Glover and Brian Posehn.
• How about Pitchfork? Odd Future, Hot Snakes, Lykke Li, M83, Girls, Major Lazer, Public Enemy, tUnE-yArDs, Slayer, Flying Lotus, Neon Indian, Okkervil River, Four Tet andDanzig are deserving of mention.
• Want some more lists? Check out The Spacelab, Republic of Austin, the homey-sounding My Old Kentucky Blog, mxdwn and Consequence of Sound.

You'd better get tickets soon, or you might be stuck scrounging on Craigslist and Stubhub. Three-day passes are $110 for students and $135 for the rest. Click here.
