Creating this thread for all things Midpoint 2018! Acts I could reasonably see headlining are Death Cab for Cutie, Beach House, Houndmouth (though not sure about radius clause with forecastle), and now that I see guided by voices on a couple bills I could totally see them being there!
What do you all think?

For my taste and wallet....I love midpoint. 2yrs ago the lineup was incredible. Last year was very good.
I will update the following as I think of things.
My guesses:
Too early right now, although any recent acts would be great again. Houndmouth, nada surf, Frank Turner, Carly bliss, Virginia Man, Mandolin Orange...etc
My "within reason" wishlist:
Guster
Kodaline
Neon trees
Strumbellas
Catfish and the bottlemen

Julian Casablancas’ band Voidz has a tour going through the fall, this would be a cool get!

It’s got to be coming out soon right? Last year the initial round was announced on June 28th. Who knows if they are keeping on that schedule. Midpoint is always closed lipped until the lineup just appears out of nowhere. |

As for some guesses...
Shakey Graves is playing Columbus on September 25th and Pittsburgh on the 24th. They have September 23rd off. If Midpoint is the same weekend this year it will be September 22nd and 23rd.
Also the Bourbon and Beyond festival is going on in Louisville that weekend. I could see some of the lower tier bands being there if there is no proximity clause. JJ Grey and Mofro, Joseph, The Record Company to name a few. But they didn't share any acts last year that I can see, so those bands may be out.

I mean I know they’re local Moonbeau has played cincy like 8 times in the months surrounding bunbury |

Is MPMF going to happen this year? July and still nothing from their end I'm pretty sure they would have said something by now if it was cancelled or not happening. Not looking good though... Perhaps some more major changes bring ironed out? |

Definitely starting to get concerned, Bellwether is coming up and I’m real close to buying a ticket. My only concern is I think I’ll be real tired bc I’m doing Lollapalooza the weekend before. But if Midpoint is planning on doing their festival I’m going to need a lineup quick!!

Man, that's all I can figure now. There hasn't been a post from their social media account since last year's festival ended. Total ghost town everywhere. |

I just messaged my source at the paper to see if he has heard anything. Unfortunately he's not in a position to get the usual inside info anymore, but I figure if anyone can track down any definite info, he might be able to.
At this point, not even having announced a date, I'm leaning toward the same thoughts you are.
