Forecastle 2015

[e_wind]

...I'm still going to complain about having a headliner that wasn't even a thing half a year ago. He has 1 album and he's top on the bill. The dude isn't even a musician, he's an entertainer. ... I feel like Sam Smith was plucked from some Pop radio station...

I agree.

He was plucked from a  pop radio station, so it's good you all feel like that. I guess at this point you could continue to complain (as you've stated you will) and provide everyone with that infectious negative energy, or you could just be happy that the line up rules and the festival rules.

BTW...
Governor's Ball: DRAKE, DEADMAU5
Coachella: DRAKE, AC/DC (ha)
Bonnaroo: KENDRICK LAMAR, DEADMAU5
Hangout: ZBB, SKRILLEX
Wakarusa: MAJOR LAZER

so, Forecastle screwed us by having pop/dance/shitty headliners, huh?

Also, BTW... Only festival that's booked him in the US. Pretty impressive IMO.

FUCKING ACDC IS HEADLINING COACHELLA PEOPLE! PERSPECTIVE!

"Mmmmm-pop, pop, pop music. Mmmmm-pop, pop, pop music..."

Not gonna complain anymore...just still saddened that the "all-mighty-dollar" has "forced the hand" of AC Entertainment to include this unique festival in that quest...$$$...

If ya don't know by now, fests aren't for music fans, anymore. Last year at Forecastle, all but 3% of the people roam from stage to stage taking selfies. They have to grab pop headliners and for main stay fests like Jazz fests--they have to keep pulling out oldie but goodie classics -Elton, stevie, etc. Sam Smith, people! (okay, I am going to finally read the rolling stone article on him so i'll be in the 'know' now)

getting Tallest Man On Earth is a huge score too- he rarely tours.   If he does nothing for you, then it's a non-event, but for fans (like me), it's got me thinking how to get to Forecastle.

First timer need recco's for lodging for this fest

[LBSUNFLWR]

Book something now!!

First timer need recco's for lodging for this fest

if its still available and its in your price range, the Galt House is the best. Its really close, really nice, and will be the most full of other fest goers. Prices may be a little better this year because there are two new hotels down town.

I just listened to 2 Sam Smith singles on Spotify. His music is not bad.

Some of us are trying really hard to defend Forecastle at all costs lol.

I'll be there,  I come for the peeps and stay for the bourbon.  I love your town.   I don't care who headlines as long as I get an MMJ hometown show. 

[ajclements004]

don't count out Widespread if you've never seen a show.  Cant stand listening to them, but you wont be able to take your eyes off Jimmy Herring as he shreds your face off.

so now a friend said he got a text update from Wilco that they're playing Forecastle.
I said he probably read it wrong, and it was a text about the Iroquois show, especially since those tickets go on sale this morning...

I looked online last night, and this morning and have found nothing on this.
has anyone else seen anything?

Wilco's tour dates have Forecastle listed under tweedy dates still.

I already bought tickets to Iroquois on the presale, but would gladly see Wilco twice this spring/summer!

What sort of text? Like a roll call automatic message? Or a text from someone in or close to the band? Id love to see them twice as well, but I'm still unsure if that'll happen.
