Just in time for Christmas, July’s Forecastle Fest announces lineup
Start thinking summer, people. The 15th Forecastle Festival in Louisville has just announced its first wave of acts for next year; a roster that includes Brooklyn dance rock-electronica troupe LCD Soundsystem, pop stylists Weezer and the electro pop duo Odesza.
Want more? Then plan on sets by Bowling Green-bred rock renegades Cage the Elephant, British pop-punk experimentalist PJ Harvey, soul-Americana sensations Nathaniel Rateliff and the Nightsweats, roots rock champion JD McPherson, veteran soul/funk brigade Charles Bradley and the Extraordinaires, Christian rockers Needtobreathe, rock-folk-Americana favorite Conor Oberst and Louisville’s own Twin Limb.
Forecastle will run July 14-16, 2017 at downtown Louisville’s 85 acre Waterfront Park. General admission weekend passes are on sale, just in time for holiday shopping needs, at $149.50 excluding ticketing fees. For more ordering information, go to forecastlefest.com.
Further performance bookings, schedules and single day ticket sales will be announced early in 2017.
