[johnnYYac]

I'm going to be optimistic and put this thread under MMJ Shows.  Line up announcement is sometime in March.  Anyone going or thinking about it?  Lodging?

I didn't get to go last year, so the plan is to make it this year. Hoping MMJ is headlining this year....wouldn't mind another performance under the overpass!!!!

I'd definitely go if MMJ are doing a show. As for lodging, it's a suite at the Galt again for me.

Going to see MMJ at Forecastle 2012 was one of the highlights of my life!  That is where I met some really groovy people LOL starting with Mama Kel and Sheri bury blast.
The show was special since the boys came out after the storm and played under the overpass.
I'm going to count on them being there this year, because - I can't go to Mexico for OBH since I'm going in the summer for my 25th wedding anniversary.  This really saddens me even though I am so happy for those that can go, but, I just can't read all of the fun stuff that will be going on. 
Waiting for March announcements...........................

Looks like outkast will headline

Looks like outkast will headline

Are you basing that off the "40-festivals" news that came out today, or do you have some of your famous hometown intel?

Either way, Outkast and MMJ would be the best fucking one-two punch ever. I figure with MMJ having a new album to promote, and the fact that Outkast will be seemingly everywhere, there's GOTTA be one festival where they cross paths. And that will be where I head this summer.

Do you think they'll return that quickly to Forecastle?   Does anyone have a clue when we can expect tour dates to surface?

It seems more and more that festival lineups are less unique and instead bands decide to do the "festival circuit".   I don't have any inside info whether MMJ will do that or not, but it seems like 2014 could be a year where they hit a bunch of em given a new album coming out.   I think Shaky Knees, Bonnaroo, Forecastle, and a bunch of West Coasts might be in the cards.

A lot of festivals announce this week, so I'll know soon if my theory is true or not.

The Mountain Jam release could be a good indicator on Wednesday

I honestly doubt MMJ will return. After MMJ 2 years ago and Jim last year, I think the jacket will do their own hometown album promotion.


As far as the outkast thing, check forecastles Facebook.

I would rather have an actual Jacket show in Louisville at this point. We're going on three years since the Circuital release show at the Palace. Three years! I know we had Forecastle 2012 and it was an epic festie set, but a festie set nevertheless.

Now, if they were to do both, that would be spectacular! But they don't seem so inclined.

The Mountain Jam release could be a good indicator on Wednesday

so this week we have:  mountain jam, firefly, New Orleans, Shaky Knees, Hangout, and Governers Ball-  many of which are today and tomorrow.

We should have a good sense within 24 hours whether MMJ is on the festival circuit.

Also, I would think the people who run forecastle probably don't want it to become MMJ fest

[kintante5]

When are Hangout, Firefly, and Governors Ball set to announce?

[joey_rogo]

I'd poop my pants if they did Mountain Jam again, but they were just there a couple years ago, and a couple years before that so I'm not getting my hopes up.

[mahg33ta]

When are Hangout, Firefly, and Governors Ball set to announce?

firefly is today (just came out)
hangout is tomorrow
GB is "this week"

[kintante5]

Eeek.  No Firefly or Jazzfest.  I'm growing worried.

[layin low]

I have no direct knowledge, but would be really surprised if MMJ was not at Shaky Knees this year. Hell, the festival is named after one of their songs! I know the organizer was trying like crazy to get them as a headliner.

I went last year, was a great time even in the pouring rain and despite the fact The Lumineers should never ever be headlining a festival again. Venue has changed a bit to more of a parking lot fairground, wonder how that will affect things.

that's a good point..considering they were devoted to it in 2012 (curating), i can't see them just 'playing' forecastle; if they come, they come big or not at all..i don't see them doing fests with new material. I see a BIG TOUR summer/fall.
