In 2011, Fun Fun Fun Fest was moved to
Auditorium Shores, a much larger downtown park, a change from previous years in which the event was held at Waterloo Park. 2011 saw the addition of a third full day and FFF Nites, a set of free aftershows for ticket holders in downtown Austin music venues, featuring an additional 75+ artists. Additionally,
Ryan Gosling and
Rooney Mara filmed a sequence for the
Terrence Malick film
Song to Song on November 4, 2011, on the festival grounds.
The 2012 festival took place November 2–4 at Auditorium Shores. The event made headlines with the announcement of a reunion of the hip hop group,

The festival had its final year in 2015. Some of the event producers have moved on to produce an event called
Sound on Sound Music Festival, which takes place at the

Fun Fun Fun Fest Taco Cannon
Premiering at the 2012 Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin, TX, the Fun Fun Fun Fest Taco Cannon was a modified 12-chamber T-shirt cannon specifically designed to shoot tacos a maximum 200 feet in the air. The Fun Fun Fun Fest Taco Cannon was the first and only taco launching device. The cannon was powered by carbon dioxide and a car battery, and "takes 40 pounds of carbon dioxide to get through three round of Gatling gun-style shots" with "12 barrels in each round, so 36 shots total per round."
