FYF Fest is just around the corner (Aug. 27-28), and we’ve got a playlist for polyglot tastes featuring 53 tracks from artists in this year’s lineup. From household names like Kendrick Lamar to indie darlings Tame Impala, Vince Staples and Blood Orange to favored veterans Explosions in the Sky and LCD Soundsystem (we started the mix with “All My Friends,” in the spirit of FYF, right?) to rare festival appearances by Grace Jones, this year’s lineup is sure to be enticing to many generations of music fans. Plus, who isn’t stoked about the return of AIR and Wolf Parade?

General admission tickets for the weekend are now sold out, but VIP weekend passes and Sunday tickets are still available here.

We’ve tried to make this playlist — all 4 hours of it — like a strange journey, from rock to dance to hip-hop to electronic and back again. Stream below and get stoked.
