Does anybody have any info on when we might get a lineup release?
They said 4-6 weeks from the press conference and that was about 3 weeks ago.

Realistically, wouldn't they try and get people to come to BOTH festivals? They are going to need some different big name acts to attract the same people to two festivals within a month. I could see a lot of the undercards of both fests being shared, but for a festival that's trying to make a big splash and become a summer destination, don't you think Forecastle will want some headliners that won't be at Roo?

Basically, I'm just looking for any reason to believe Wilco and Jack will be in Louisville. And if I keep telling myself this, it will come true.

;D This is my reasoning too.

Also went ahead and booked a room at the Galt House so we don't have to drive across river to Georgetown every night.

Can't wait.  :D

Also... no M. Ward at Bonna!

Bring 'im to Louisville!

I know we're all desperate for any info about lineup (it's not just me is it?) ... so of note, there are two other festivals that same weekend:  Pitchfork in Chicago, and Bunbury in Ohio.  So watching them will give some clues about what bands are off the list.

Bunbury just announced their 3 headliners today:  Jane's Addiction, Weezer, and Death Cab.  (no loss there IMO).    They say more support acts announced next week.    If you want to follow along it's http://www.bunburyfestival.com/

Pitchfork hasn't made official announcement but hard-working sleuths have pieced together much of the lineup here http://festival-outlook.consequenceofsound.net/fests/view/823/pitchfork-music-festival

Pitchfork's not necessarily the same weekend.  Fingers crossed it's not, because if so I'll be there and not in Kentucky.

The lineup announcement is "only a couple short weeks away" according to the forecastle facebook page.  It also mentions that tier 2 tickets are almost sold out.

Let's get Dr. John to Forecastle! Has a new album coming out, recorded with a crack band put together by Dan Auerbach. Any band that has Nick Movshon on bass is not to be missed.

I second this.  I'll take Dan Auerbach in any way at Forecastle.

also rumor but I guess Tom Petty cancelled a show in Louisville and needs to make it up...Forecastle would be a nice way.

another festival the same weekend, in case you want a list of more bands not going to be there.    Relieved to see Mumford and Sons are going to be on a different continent.

Agreed!  Also think it'd be cool if more festivals had the word OPTIMUS in it.

So Snow Patrol is out then.

Fully

No Radiohead either, but I suppose I could break down and drive over to Manchester if I really must.  I would like to see Caribou - but, I wasn't expecting them to be there.

Also, Ruckus - Optimus should be involved in every festival!

i'm not really too concerned with the lineup. the chance to go see my morning jacket curate a festival in their hometown...and stay in an on-site hotel for the same price as a bonnaroo ticket is enough for me.

that said, if wilco was announced as another headliner, that would really be special. what are the chances?

bright eyes, m. ward, monsters of folk...that could be asking too much, but wow. really looking forward to the lineup announcement.
