Forecastle 2018

Even with their hit and miss live greatness, still a very solid 4-6 name

re-up.  Let's see those final guesses people.  Announcement is tomorrow

Jack is in Paris the week before. Makes more sense for Lolla and Pano. Arcade is all over EU from end of June to Aug

Dead & Co / The Killers / (could care less EDM)

edit: SCI is still a possibility 

check the Internationals thread for AF.

I agree about Jack.  I'm hoping for Jack.  I simply think they would take a small pause in that time

edit: The Killers are in EU the following week

You can more than likely rule out shovels and rope, Brandi Carlisle, tune-yards, Dr dog and fleet foxes judging by today's concert anouncements.

Sloss announcement at 7:30 am (central) tomorrow - per Sloss thread

Safe to say no to Dead & Co then?

For sure.  Thanks Phi

Would be awesome if Arcade Fire also play Pitchfork.

As much as I want to do Shaky Knees, this may be more realistic for me since I start a new job next month (prob can't take vaca for early May). Arcade Fire and/or Jack White would be sick.

Trust me, the last thing Kentucky, or Tennessee, need is more Jason Isbell.

Comparing to Sloss:

We know we're getting Jason Isbell, White Reaper and Vic Mensa. We know we're not getting Griz cause he played last year.

I'm cool with Arcade Fire and Chris Stapleton as two headliners honestly. As long as the other two names are good/great, then a top 6 that includes Isbell, AF, Stapleton and Modest Mouse is a solid start.

But most of the rest of Sloss is really weak. I would love to see Waxahatchee and Margo Price. I would attend St Paul and War on Drugs. Everything else is meh to please no.

Still, it's encouraging that we have Courtney Barnett and Modest Mouse. That's already a nice head start.

Busy weekend to do 3 fests in 3 states in 3 days
