Uncle Tupelo seems to me to be just about the most unlikely band whose members are all still alive to ever reunite.

Not sure if this wish for Forecastle has been brought up before, but even if it has, it can't be brought up enough:

Neil Young and Crazy Horse!!!

[bold992006]

I really want the Heartless Bastards there.

[e_wind]

Ok, since it's so soon, here it goes:

Eddie Vedder
MMJ
Tom Petty
Paul Simon performing Graceland
Beach Boys
Phish
Wilco
Alabama Shakes
Tune Yards (in Europe so incredibly unlikely)
Middle Brother
Monsters of Folk
Yim solo
Galactic
The Avetts Bros
The Roots
M83


Give me 5+ of these mofos

My biggest wish is a legend I've never seen, so Neil Young, beach boys (WITH BRIAN OR NOT AT ALL), petty, Bruce, etc.

Those shows always blow me away. I always walk away saying "so that's why they're a legend". Paul Simon at Hangout was simply incredible.

before two months ago i wouldve said id give up my first born child for an uncle tupelo reunion... now not so much.

i think hell freezing over will be well before we see jeff and jay on the same stage again.

oh i'm aware that this won't be happening. it was just something that popped into my head...obviously due to the fact that wilco is possible for the fest, and jim is currently touring with jay.

but why do you say before two months ago? i thought it was pretty unlikely even last year. did something happen that i may have missed? haven't really been keeping up with music news lately.

Bunbury, a competing festival (July 13-15) announces their full lineup today.   They are saying 100 acts over 3 days on 6 stages, so it's a pretty big deal.   I'm a little skeptical, given their competition (Forecastle and Latitudes) and the fact that the only bands announced so far, 3 headliners and 3 supports, aren't mindblowing (IMO).

I'm not sure if bands there make it less likely or more likely that they will be at Forecastle.   Perhaps some bands will hit one festival one day, one another.   Although I gather sometimes there are restrictions.   So I guess I don't know what good it does to know this, but I'm hungry for any info so check it out at noon and read the tea leaves however you wish.

as mentioned earlier in the thread, latitudes lineup is announced and that's in England, so pretty sure that means scheduling conflicts for all those bands  ;D

Is bunbury the one in Cinci? It's the most whack Fest ever if so. There's also Pitchfork, but that line up sucks too.

haha. gonna have to concur after seeing the headliners. weezer, jane's addiction and death cab for cutie. hmmmmmm. i wouldn't care to see any of these bands, although i did quite enjoy jane's addiction when i was in high school.

there's getting to be too many festivals, and some of them are just becoming laughable. i think there is a fest somewhere going on this summer that includes everclear, sugar ray, lit, marcy playground and the gin blossoms. i'm not gonna try and hate on all of those bands, but really??

where the fuck is hootie and the blowfish when you need them?

Margot and the Nuclear So-Sos, GroupLove, Guided By Voices are the only bands on that list that I wouldn't mind being added to Forecastle, but probably wouldn't watch them anyway. All in all, no real loss potential there, but tons of scary potential for bands to be on both since they're an hour away.


and from latitude - M83, Tune-Yards, and Alabama Shakes were all HIGH on my list for this summers festivals, so thats a bummer for me, but nothing compared to the MMJ Wilco factor that forecastle pulled

agreed- no-one on the list caused me to wince and think "damn we're not getting ___"; mostly it was a big huh?    I almost feel bad for them with all the hating going on at facebook.   Why they picked that weekend to launch a festival I do not know....

[uncelestial]

Only band on there I'd love at Forecastle is Manchester Orchestra. I can see both them and Margot coming to Forecastle 2012, too, since they played at Forecastle 2010. Also, Minus the Bear, RJD2 and Foxy Shazam. Just going by the fact with the Louisville bands anyhow that Forecastle seems to be keen on representing a healthy amount of past bands for the tenth anniversary. And, well, why not? Because coincidentally, all those previous Forecastle bands at Bunbury happen to be the only bands worth a damn at Bunbury, anyhow.

[e_wind]

foxy shazam has some members from louisville i think, so i can see them playing again for sure.


after looking again - wow - just terrible. they mustve been sitting around thinking, "what major bands of yesterday can we get that have very little power to draw travelers?"

there are seriously only like 5 bands on that line up that are coming up rather than going down.
