Forecastle has one more late night show to reveal.  I would be really excited if it were Dr. Dog.
I wonder why we listen to poets when nobody gives a fuck

Fully

Is Dr. Dog playing Forecastle?  I've forgotten who is on the bill.

No Dr. Dog on the bill unfortunately. I'd love to see 'em late night but I don't want to get my hopes up. These late-night shows are pretty small scale. I am growing worrisome that there will even be another late-night show added, but I will save full blown "no other late show" freakout mode until after Bonnaroo. I could see them wanting to wait until after Roo for one final push for more ticket sales.

Having said that, this lineup is so solid that late-night shows be damned, I'm hella excited! Five weeks!!!!

Their FB page has confirmed another late night show. They told me just to hang tight.

Dr. Dog isn't on the bill, but every late night they've announced isn't on the bill save for Mimosa, who was added late.

Nice, that's promising! I wonder if they have something up their sleeves or if they're frantically trying to book a reasonably-priced act. Would love some hip-hop! Or funk! Something to groove to after Jack White amps my body excitement level to "off the charts".

Right now, I would probably do Moon Taxi, but I am definitely going to wait and see.  Dr. Dog is definitely my dream choice.

I hope they have something good planned, but I feel like they are just trying to book someone decent at this point.  Why else keep it a secret this long?

If they were to announce another late night show, wouldn't it be a Sunday night late show?  They've already got late nights Friday and Saturday

I doubt it.

as of now I am happy enough with the line up and after 3 days in the sun I may be too old to even do a late night show...it'd have to be someone I really love!

I doubt they'd do a Sunday late night when most people have to go to work Monday morning...

Thanks for keeping us posted here!!

I assume there will be another one on Saturday. Probably EDM or something. I wish They could pull Isbell or something.
don't rock bottom, just listen just slow down...

Big Forecastle late night show announcement coming tomorrow. No hints, makes me think it's a shocker...

:wink:

Not yet, I'll report back when I do. I'm expecting the announcement to come around 11.  Maybe Wax Fang?  Since they are Louisville based, it could work.  It could be their first go at the Astronaut live.

I'm surprised they're not playing at Forecastle, in the afternoon even, on the "local" stage...too bad.

EverythingChanges

I'm not excited... Hopefully some of you are!

MOON TAXI it is!!! You won't regret it  :thumbsup:

Haha, yeah I think that is what we are doing.  Definitely the choice to go with.  Although I dig St. Paul as well.

As excited as I am for Moon Taxi, I really am disappointed Dr. Dog won't be in attendance at Forecastle in some sort...

LBSUNFLWR

well at least now I know I can go home each night after those long hot days! :)

Countdown is on...1 month away!

I have a good feeling Dr. Dog and MMJ will be on the bill next year.
