Joining in on the super early announcement bandwagon, following reveals from Hangout Fest, Firefly, and more, Louisville’s Forecastle Fest, set to take place July 15-17, has just unveiled its 2016 lineup a whopping seven months early, and a good six weeks ahead of last year. Per usual, it’s very eclectic, and, includes some local faves. The Avett Brothers, Alabama Shakes, Ryan Adams, and Death Cab for Cutie take the top spots, while Grouplove, Gary Clark Jr., Dr. Dog, Moon Taxi, Danny Brown, Bully, Speedy Ortiz, All Them Witches, Anderson East, Los Colognes, and more round out the bill (full lineup after the jump). Stay tuned for additional details as the summer approaches, including additional artist announcements, and grab your weekend passes for a special early bird price right here while they last!
