Forecastle Festival will be celebrating 15 Years at Sea at the beautiful Waterfront Park July 14th - 16th this year in Louisville, Kentucky. Forecastle is no stranger to the festival scene and has grown immense popularity over the past six years. Today we'll be happy to tell you why we think Forecastle truly holds the most diverse 2017 lineup.
So from the gecko, the three headlining acts are massive names on such enormous different platforms. You'll be able to experience a once in a lifetime live show from LCD Soundsystem, the true definition of modern rock with Weezer, and our all time favorite electronic act, Odesza. Honestly, these three performance over a three-day weekend would be memorable enough for many to attend and we solute Forecastle for bringing different themed headliners each night.
Each day, Forecastle carefully hand selected 17 - 20 performances that literally have the exact amount of 'oomph' you've been looking for. Experience major hip hop artists all weekend including Vince Staples, Run The Jewels, Waka Flocka Flame, Kaiydo, Jack Harlow, and Pell.
Not only does Forecastle bring the perfect amount of hype with rhymes but the powerful electronic selection is even better. Party with Griz, Cashmere Cat, Ekali, Giraffage, What So Not, Tycho, and of course Odesza.
If you're into some country twang, this blend of artists will 100% get your egg on. Come and get down with Aaron Lee Tasjan, Mandolin Orange, Mondo Cozmo, Conor Oberst, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, and Sturgill Simpson.
