Louisville’s Forecastle Festival announced today that its next music and art fest will be July 13-15 at Waterfront Park, with several smaller events preceding it. Performers will be announced later.
Although 2012 technically marks the festival’s 11th anniversary, organizers canceled this year’s fest and will celebrate the anniversary next year.
Forecastle this year entered into a partnership with AC Entertainment, which produces the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Tennessee, and the July 13-15 fest in Louisville will be their first major undertaking. They partnered in July on Halfway to Forecastle, a one-day event.
“Halfway was the perfect opportunity to get our feet wet with this new partnership,” Forecastle founder JK McKnight said in a release. “The event was successful, and brought about a larger, more complete vision for the 10th anniversary.”

I might skip roo this year too. I alrady have tickets for Roger Waters on the Sunday of roo. Hopefully this does turn out to be a quite stellar lineup as it is alot coser to me anyway.

I'm seriously debating on skipping Roo to go see him that Sunday. Guess it just depends on the lineup.

It would be well worth it. Probaly the best show I have ever seen. I may still go to Roo but just Friday and Saturday. Lineup dependent of course.

For Bonnaroo I stay with friends in the area, so if you want to give away your ticket when you leave Sunday I'll take it and pass it on to one of our hosts who doesn't usually go so that they can go for the day. Karma and all that.

Im in the same boat. I already have my Waters tickets. For me to go to roo this year the friday and saturday headliners need to be worth $250 to me. I need some combination of Radiohead, Paul McCartney, Rage, Stones, Prince, Black Sabbath (I hope they can put on a good show and Tony Iommi can recover) or Bowie. Based on the previous sentence, I am 99% not going to Roo.

Do they have camping? I was planning on getting a hotel. May try to crash with friends, but several of them have infants/toddlers now, so drunk buddy who is in town for a music festival crashing on the couch probably won't work.

Camping is pretty strange. It's at American Turners K.O.A., on the riverfront, straight outta the 70s. Baseball diamond, pool, showers, bar, concession stand, school bus shuttle back and forth to the fest, 5 min ride. $75 extra/3 nites. I've done it the past 3 yrs, not ideal, but still a good time.
I'm really hoping the fact that AC is running this now means the lineup resembles their other fests. You know My Morning Jacket just has to headline. THEY HAVE TO!

Another Lexington poster sounding off here. If you guys hadn't heard Dark Star Orchestra is playing the Kentucky Theater on Valentines Day. Tickets are around 20 bucks and available at cd central in the daytime, at the theater in the evening or online through Cosmic Charlie's ticket site.
Yay for getting to see MMJ at 2 fests in one year (BSMF and Forecastle)
Also, by the way, the following bands are 'liked' on Forecastle's facebook page:
The Flaming Lips Pretty Lights (Played Halfway to Forecastle) Bassnectar Girl Talk Manchester Orchestra The Avett Brothers The Band of Horses The Black Keys Big Boi And the Smashing Punpkins
EDIT: all those bands have played in the past, maybe thats why they are 'liked'.
