Fun Fun Fun Fest is a yearly music festival that attracts music lovers of almost every genre.
One thing that sets the festival aside from a normal concert is that it gives people the opportunity to discover different styles of music that they would normally not listen to on their own.
Fun Fun Fun Fest also showcased various comedy acts as well as athletes such as BMX legend Matt Hoffman and one of skating boarding’s biggest names, Christian Hosoi.
The festival sets up five different stages for these various acts, each stage has its own color to help people know which stage to go to.
There are five stages for each genre/subgenre; the black stage consists of metal bands as well as punk bands, blue is techno/rap/hip hop, orange is the indie rock/soft rock stage, yellow is the comedy stage, and green is where people would go to find Christian Hosoi, Matt Hoffman, and all of the other world famous athletes
It is not unusual to have crazy things happen at music festivals or even at concerts. Each show has its oddball, but what some people may find fun others may find strange. It is said that at Fun Fun Fun Fest, anything goes.
Senior Nick Montana knows first hand how abnormal things can get at the festival. Like others who attended Montana walked away with just a little more.
“I witnessed a couple get married and have their first dance with a girl crowd surfing around them with a stolen guitar,” Montana said. “Their wedding cake was a Twinkie. Only at Fun Fun Fun Fest.”
As expected for a main headliner there was a lot of buzz for Slayer. Metal fans gathered around the orange stage, which was known as the indie-rock stage/rock stage.
With an eager crowd pushing their bodies together to get closer to the stage senior Eric Ross managed to make his way up to the second row to see his favorite thrash band.
“I was psyched to see Slayer after seven years of listening to them, this moment I had been waiting for so long finally came and it was an awesome experience,” Ross said. “The experience of the festival was a lot more fun than I thought it would be, I discovered some new bands and I got to see bands I hadn’t expected to.”
