Official 2013 Festival Speculation

[Fully]

I love Sharon and the Dap-Kings. I wish they were playing at Bonnaroo this year.

Hard to top last years Forecastle lineup. This is good, but nothing that would make me travel across the country to attend. I would see all of these groups individually (and have seen most of the headliners), but wouldn't travell to see a fest set for just these bands.. Oh well.

Until Forecastle stops landing on the same weekend as my wife and 3rd daughter's birthdays (July 13 and 14, respectively), I will miss Forecastle.  Last year was the exception, for obvious reasons.

If String Cheese Incident can play each of three nights, seems hometown heroes MMJ should be able to do the same next time.

Not a spectacular lineup, but highlights for me (if I was going)...

Jim, Grace Potter & TN, Bob Mould (!), Flaming Lips (never seen 'em), Alabama Shakes (especially if they can expand their set with new tunes)

Maybe Jim will repay Brittany and join the Shakes for a tune or two.
I'm hoping/expecting Jim to pull some Ben Sollee-style stage bombing.

If I lived closer, had more $$$, and could convince the wife to make Forecastle an annual birthday adventure, I'd be there and have a great time.  Maybe next year...

In that case, can anyone recommend anything musically exciting this year in or surrounding Indiana?

This festival in Ohio looks pretty good.  I've never been to it though so can't give a firsthand report of what it's like to be there.

Not a great festival, but Brown Bird and Sharon Van Etten are playing...

JK should ask MMJ to curate again next year. Overall, I think last year's lineup was much stronger than what has been released thus far. I will concede, however, that I'm not the typical Forecastle customer.

I would really like to see Wilco, I could see myself doing a 1 day pass.

I agree, MMJ should have gotten the chance to play 3 days since SCI is going to.

I agree, there are maybe 5 bands on this list that I am happy to see.  There were well over a dozen last festival that I was excited about, not to mention, MMJ is all I need anyways.

I actually like Forecastle's lineup this year. The Black Keys (hoping for not much from El Camino), The Avetts, String Cheese, that Jim James guy, The Forecastle Incident (maybe Jim will join in), Young The Giant, Big Boi, Purity Ring, Datsik, Dawes, Toro Y Moi (whom I hope joins the Bonnaroo lineup), Killer Mike, Foxygen and Rubblebucket.

I'd say that's enough for me to ponder a weekend pass this time around

[EverythingChanges]

The keys not making their setlist 50-75% Brothers and El Camino is funny.

I have been trying to like SCI all day, but it isn't clicking with me.  They seem so cheesy (no pun intended).  They just sound sorta goofy I guess.  Am I crazy?

For me SCI is one of the only bands who kills it on their albums as they are all really diversely talented on a variety of instruments, plus they all sing and write different songs, but when they do live shows the drugs or whatever they are on tend to take away from their sets.  I saw them do a song where they sung the same verse two seperate time on accident, I've seen them forget what song they were trying to do the same night so that could of been a very out there show.  Overall their more bluegrass inspired stuff is fantastic if you like that style along with sometimes a river, who am i, wake up, but then the other more jammy or trippy stuff doesn't do it for me.  Of course I think most of their shows are more of a big party feel than anything else to be honest.

The Singer From That Band Doing A Solo Thing   

[EverythingChanges]

Super funny, and I would actually enjoy a Pink Floyd cover band to most bands that show up on lineups haha.

[EverythingChanges]

Robert Plant, Boys Noize,  Sarah Jarosz, and inc. are coming to Forecastle. 

[LBSUNFLWR]

I haven't heard Robert Plant's new stuff but I think it will be pretty cool to see him just because of who he is! that's a pretty significant addition to the Forecastle line-up I think.

Not the greatest lineup Lolla has had.  There are too many Mumford style bands for my liking!

Yeah, and Yac had to list The Lumineers twice just to rub it in.
