Ha! I’m really anxious to see the lineup and if it is all true. I have my hopes up, but I should probably expect the worst and be surprised if it’s solid. So what is a worst case scenario? I vote for Doja Cat-Jack Harlow-AJR lol hahaha! I bet you Doja Cat is NOT a cheap get at this point. So to them it'd probably be a big get I guess? Man I hope they don't spring for AJR but it makes sense for this festival in particular. I'm going to guess maybe like Tame Impala, HAIM, Miley Cyrus (or some EDMish act) and Jack Harlow. I have nothing to go off of other than we think Tame and Jack are in and HAIM skips over Kentucky and has a break in their tour that weekend and the tour dates line up where it isn't a stretch for them to come to Louisville on Friday (27th) and then fly up to their Philly show on the 28th or play Sunday (29th) after the Philly show and then have a day break before heading to Milwaukee on the 31st.

Holy cow, time flies and I completely forgot that the lineup drops tomorrow at noon! I hope we end up being able to scoop this ahead of time. I'm going to be on the prowl tonight for sure.
I know I always talk about them because I love them but based on tour dates, I kind of expect Bob Moses (with live band) to be on the Forecastle lineup tomorrow.

HAIM could be possible and they haven’t been here in Louisville for a while. My worst case would be Tame (excited about the possibility of Tame) Jack Harlow and DMB or Chris Stapleton or someone like that. I guess it would mean 2 early nights. Ha

I might have spoken too soon. A rumor of Tame, Jack Harlow and Tyler the Creator being the top 3. Hope it’s not true. Only Tame would interest me.

That's 2 early nights for me too, which I won't complain about (I'd love to check out the nightlife anyways). Seems odd since Tyler and Jack would be the same general fan demo one would think, but perhaps the undercard skews different. I think if that were the headliners, then the undercard would be pretty stellar if the money spent thing is accurate. It's at the same place it's always been right? I've only been once, the last one they've had. Wondering if money would be spent to add more to some of the open space from the last one. I also remember them removing the Bourbon Lounge during the last planned one, I hope they've reversed that idea as well selfishly.

I have to think if they have Tyler and Jack that they would be on the same day (Perhaps Jack is the pre-headliner and #4 on the poster). I also really hope they bring the Bourbon Lodge back. It’s one of my favorite things about the fest but it was cut last time so they could meet profit margin requirements. So, not sure if it will be back.

Someone on Inforoo is claiming to know the undercard and it’s insane. I have no reason to believe they’ve seen anything haha

Yeah, 2 nights of rappers headlining seems WAY off brand for this festival. They have a pretty set formula for headliners and that’s not it. If that’s the direction they went, I will be very disappointed unless the undercard really is insane

FJM just announced a new album coming out April 8th, so I would bet he’s on the festival circuit this summer.

I think most people would see him as a good get for an undercard!

My sister is a big fan but I don't really know any of his stuff. Saw him at Forecastle and thoroughly enjoyed his set. Very, very chill and laid back. Perfect kind of music to listen to while watching the sun set behind the stage.

Yeah, I don't hate it, but I REALLY liked that Forecastle always went with more indie, alternative acts and strayed away from booking the same acts every other festival books. I feel like this year they just booked a bunch of acts that are super popular right now. Also, not a single act from 2020. Went the total opposite way.

Excited for Tame, Phoebe, Still Woozy, Indigo De Souza, Clairo, coin. Will need to dig in otherwise.

Well, they moved it to the weekend of the 500, which I always go to. No conflict for me now lol, easy decision. Glad I pulled the trigger on WOnderRoad and WonderBus.

Elevation Group and Wonderfests here to save the day? (I still might go to Forecastle, but it might take some convincing. Not cancelling that hotel yet!)

Ticket prices seem pretty steep compared to past years, too. 185 for pre-sale is much more than I recall. One year they had pre sale (before lineup drop) at $119, which was a real steal. Guess those days are truly gone. (Yes, I am aware I sound like a grumpy old man)

Upon further lineup review…I just can’t justify spending the $$ to see like 5 artists. Not into rap or DJs/electronic music producers. It pains me to say that since I live like 4 miles away from Waterfront Park and have gone every year since 2011. I’m really struggling to understand where they spent all the $ if this was the most they ever spent.
On Saturday literally the only 2 I would see are Tame and Phoebe. Sunday…not a single one appeals to me. Friday only Clairo, Still Woozy and Indigo De Souza.
And they moved the Ocean stage from under the overpass to the wharf next to the main stage (where the Ferris wheel was the past few years) and it is going to be fully tented. Ugh…that sounds like rave central. Also, looks like no bourbon lodge again.
I hope the National do their homecoming fest again up in Cincy.

Tame is like one of those bucket list acts for me, but I don't know if I can justify the cost for what I'm getting in return.

I'd be interested in going on sat for 100 Gecs and Tame. Those other two days, though, yikes.
