Adult Swim Will Be Thowing an LA Music and Comedy Festival This Fall

For awhile, we had Riot LA. Every now and again, we have Festival Supreme. 

However, big time festivals featuring comedy in Los Angeles are had to come by. Adult Swim, fortunately, will be giving it a go by throwing a music and comedy festival at the Row DTLA this fall.

So far, a line-up has yet to be announced, but you can count on Run The Jewels being there. So, maybe, just maybe, you can forgive the delay on a new season of Rick and Morty if you’re in and around LA?
