FYA moving festival from Bryan Glazer Jewish Community Center after venue backlash
After announcing the 11th installment of FYA, the Florida-based hardcore music festival, many online let their feelings be known regarding the location of where the fest was scheduled to be held. This year's lineup boasts such acts as Foundation, Nails, Mindforce, Terror, Blistered, Kids Like Us, and The Mongoloids.
The past few festivals have taken place in Tampa, FL at the Bryan Glazer Jewish Community Center, however many voiced their displeasure with this due to the ongoing Palestine-Israel conflict.
Organizers have since shared a brief message via their Instagram story informing fans that ticket sales may not be going live on the scheduled day due to finding a new venue for the event.
The message reads:
In light of recent information, we are in the process of finding a replacement venue. Because of this, tickets for the fest most likely will not be going up on Friday. We are waiting on confirmation from another venue before releasing tickets. We will be posting updates when we have them.
FYA has been hosted at the Bryan Glazer Jewish Community Center since 2019, when the festival moved from the Tampa venue The Brass Mug to accommodate its growing attendance for the 7th installment.
Prior to The Brass Mug, FYA was held at the Cuban Club and The Orpheum. The very first two events took place in Orlando, FL before moving to Florida's West Coast.
