Comedy and music are joining forces for Tenacious D’s Festival Supreme on October 19 in Santa Monica, Calif.
Jack Black and Kyle Gass, known as Tenacious D are producing the day-long festival that will focus on the music side of comedy Billboard reports.
Tenacious D will headline the act but other guests include The Might Boosh, Sarah Silverman, Adam Sandler, Demetri Martin, Tim and Eric, Zach Galifianakis, Fred Armisen, Eric Idle, Hannibal Buress, Will Forte and more.
In a video, Black and Gass promise “the greatest comedians and the greatest musicians” for the festival they have been planning for “a couple million years.”
“There’s no real objective here other than to put on the greatest show this town has ever seen. I feel like there’s an empty hole there, too. Like why hasn’t there ever been a really kick-ass comedy festival in Los Angeles? I can’t think of one. It’s like a no-brainer,” Black said to Rolling Stone.
Tenacious D will be putting out new material in 2014. “We want to speed up the process, though, because we’ve been putting out records once every six years and at that rate we won’t finish our contract with Sony for 24 more years,” Black said.
Tickets start at $99 and are available on the Festival Supreme website.
