Yeah, I'm hoping the rest of the lineup is stellar, or I may need to sell my ticket. I'm still holding out hope though. Last year by the time the lineup was announced we knew like half the lineup, which obviously won't be the case this year.

They are basically batting 0 for 6 for me. Portugal the Man and My Morning Jacket are OK but neither get me that excited. I would probably go no matter who they ever announce but then again I live here so it is worth the money no matter what just for music and a good time. If I had to start throwing in travel expenses and hotel rooms on top of the 80 dollars a day I spend inside now that would be a different story. Still a lot of slots to fill but I think most festival line ups this year have looked just average and after last years headliners I think it all was going to be a let down for me this year. At least this rules od Dave Matthews for next year.
Yeah, I think I'll have to really weigh the cost this year and see if it's worth it. I always said I would go every year no matter what since its a great festival and has become a way for me to spend time with old friends. But now that I live in Florida, I have to pay for airfare and lodging, expenses during the weekend, and the ticket. It was worth it last year given that I loved the lineup, but I don't know if I would be okay spending that much money on an average lineup.

Is Portugal a for sure confirmation? Them plus MMJ are huge gets for me. But I agree, DMB, Cold War Kids, and the few other bands mentioned aren't that exciting.

Portugal the Man is a decent add, and First Aid Kit is really good. So I like those two. MMJ is obviously great, but I've seen them 10+ times so them alone won't get me to the fest. The other bands they have hinted at do absolutely nothing for me, and the frat contingent that DMB would bring might be enough to keep me home.
ETA: I do love this fest, and it's pretty much impossible to not enjoy yourself at Forecastle regardless of the lineup.
Strand of Oaks is playing Zanzabar this coming Monday. Dr. Dog is playing Mercury Ballroom in March. Not saying they won't be at Forecastle, just less likely.
Last year Lucius played Mercury Ballroom in like May, Moon Taxi played in Louisville in April (played late night), Spanish Gold played Louisville in May so I don't think playing in Louisville prior to the fest really impacts their bookings all that much....
I think Moon Taxi played Louisville like 4 times in less than a year.
Man, if these clues are right it looks like ONLY people who have played in town in the last 6 months will be on the lineup!
I just want JEFF and Diarrhea Planet...that happens, I'm Louisville bound.
Both of these would be great.
As far as an undercard wishlist, here are some plausible additions i hope to see:
Sylvan Esso Purity Ring Madlib/Freddie Gibbs Run the Jewels War on Drugs Moon Duo/Wooden Shjips Angel Olsen The Antlers Real Estate Interpol (not a fan of their new album, but it would be cool to see them)

If Sylvan Esso and Madlib/Freddie Gibbs are on the lineup I would be sooooooo happy. Anything that helps lessen the amount of hurt brought on by Bonnaroo conflicts is a plus.

Modest Mouse would be one hell of a surprise. I saw them in Louisville 2007 at a random night club called Coyotes and they seemed to love the crowd. Great show with Johnny Marr.

Modest Mouse > MMJ would be one hell of a night
fingers are crossed for a suprise or two such as this!
Is there anything other than "brothers" and "keys" that points to Black Keys? Saying "a group of many" leads me away from them. And the lamp trimming comment seems like ti should mean something.

It's The Word in my opinion. They covered keep your lamps trimmed and burning on their first album. John Medeski brings the Keys, Robert Randolph brings the pedal steel and North Mississippi All Stars bring the brothers.

That sounds very possible. The fact that they're a supergroup adds to the "all walks" part too

I just have a feeling the third headliner will be a huge get. Hope I'm right.
Here's the list of what we can expect come Tuesday:
Portugal. The Man MMJ The Word DMB First Aid Kit Cold War Kids Shovels and Rope Gaslight Anthem Big K.R.I.T.
I think that's all of them so far. I'm only excited about MMJ, and Portugal. Maybe First Aid Kit will grow on me. Cold War Kids seem alright. The Word is an instrumental southern church gosspel super rock jam group. Robert Randolph is pretty cool, but I'm not into their style of instrumental, I don't feel like their songs have enough weight without words unlike some other instrumental bands that do. The rest I will probably avoid. I still have high hopes for Tuesday. It'll be weird if I only end up going one day.

They announced that the Bourbon Tent is returning the other day. Give me two good to great headliners and a better than average undercard and I'll be fine.

I am super stoked about The Word but I hold the opinion that John Medeski can do no wrong. Even if it isn't your thing I suggest still checking em out for a few minute just to watch him and Robert Randolph play. You won't find 2 other people all weekend that are that good at what they do.
