The early bird discounted tickets for Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin, Texas are already sold out as the lineup for the three-day musical monstrosity has been announced. (Splurge for the PIP Pass to score the custom chrome fanny pack!) 

In addition to artists like Santigold, Girl Talk, De La Soul, Minus the Bear, and Against Me!, the two remaining members of the greatest hip hop group of all time will perform at the fest, which kicks off November 2nd. 

Run-DMC went on hiatus in 2002 following the death of Jason "Jam-Master Jay" Mizell, and the group has declined numerous offers to reform ever since. But Joseph "Run" Simmons and Darryl "DMC" McDaniels are reuniting in part for Jay himself, with a portion of the proceeds they'll receive going to Jay's arts organization, the JMJ Foundation For Music.

DMC will also perform tracks off his new album with a live band.

Plus, Fun Fun Fun Fest features more than just music. There are dozens of comedians and spoken word aficionados as well. But that's not all! The fest promises a taco cannon, a dating game, a magic show, wrestling, a veggie hot dog eating contest, and a Weird Al tribute band!
