Sean Carlson

Sean Carlson (born June 13, 1985), is an American music promoter from Torrance, California. He is the founder of FYF_Fest[1] and the "F Yeah Fest" music tour. The first Fuck Yeah Fest was held in 2004 at the Echo, a club in Echo Park, Los Angeles, California.[2][3] As of 2009, the festival officially changed its name to "FYF Fest" after moving the festival from the Echoplex to the L.A. Historic State Park.[4]

In 2017, multiple women came forward to accuse Sean of sexual harassment and assault. Spin magazine reported that Sean's sexual misconduct was considered an "open secret" within the L.A. music scene. As a result of the allegations, his relationship with Goldenvoice (the parent company of FYF Fest) was terminated. [5]
