Forecastle 2013 July 12th-14th

[shmohawk]

Jim James is Saturday.

I remember hearing that several of the hotels offer shuttles to/from the festival. Can anyone confirm this? If so, I was wondering which hotels have done this in the past? How quick can they get you to the fest (any traffic issues?)? Any how easy is it to get a ride/taxi back?

[Lowerdeck]

Not aware of any hotel shuttles to the park. The two major ones (Galt and Courtyard) are under a 10 minute walk. Traffic shouldn't be too bad, considering the short distances.

[Phi]

The Fairfield Inn is .4miles and an 8min walk to the festival.

So do y'all think there will be any additions to the lineup? If so, who do you think are realistic possibilities?
--sorry if this has been covered already.

There will definetly be additions. As to whom I have no idea.

[Billadelphia]

I wouldn't be surprised to see a decent EDM add considering this years lineup seems to lack a big name. I'm praying Cut/Copy or Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs will be an add. Would be a bummer if AC didn't book either of the acts for Bonnaroo & Forecastle

[anyonesghost87]

CHVRCHES would be such an awesome addition. Haven't checked out their tour schedule but I'm hoping they get added.

[TheFudgeFactory]

Forecastle posted this on Facebook today: "We just heard some exciting news from our Forecastle booking team at SXSW about an incredible addition to the line up. We might have to share this one sooner rather than later. "

And Ashley Capps tweeted: "Super stoked about a new addition to our @forecastle #Louisville line up...finally confirmed. Psyched about that July weekend!"

Any guesses to who it may be?

[anyonesghost87]

Phosphorescent? Purely a guess.

[Lowerdeck]

We should of had someone with a badge stalking AC this weekend.

I think Michael Kiwanuka will be added based on Kyle Meredith's FB post about bringing him to Louisville from The Weekly Feed's SXSW suite. He's posted about John Fogerty too.

They might have booked them for MOEMS.

[jmklein87]

Also, Shovels and Rope have announced they are on Sat. www.shovelsandrope.com/
This confirms that Dawes will be Saturday since they are touring together and have dates elsewhere on Fri and Sun.

[garageland]

Heads Up!

[RxMarky Mark]

Excited for adds already. Think they'll come out on Monday since the lineup arrived that day as well?

I know! Hate that! I'd rather stick with my Forecastle plan though...

[Phi]

I'm so bummed about Guster

I'll be ecstatic if they get added to Forecastle on Sunday.

bansheebeat does Boys Noize playing Forecastle make you change your mind about not going?

Kind of. Unfortunately it doesn't change my financial situation. I'm working on a volunteer thing though so we will see.

Robert Plant, Sara Jarosz and Boys Noize added!

[hummers2187]

Holy shiz! ROBERT PLANT!

[higgybear22]

Also added Inc. and Night Beds so 5 total adds from what I can tell. Pretty excited for Robert Plant though.

[comfortablynumb]

Justin Adams - guitar, bendir, vocals
John Baggott - keyboards
Liam "Skin" Tyson - guitar, vocals
Dave Smith - drums and percussion
Billy Fuller - bass guitar, vocals

And a live video


Edit: Curse your edits!

Still not very impressed with the lineup :\
