The annual Louisville fest returns for its 16th year July 13-15, and, following with this morning’s lineup announcement, tickets are set to go back on sale Friday, Jan. 19 at 9 a.m. CST here, in a variety of new and retooled options. Easily one of the festival’s best bills ever, rivaling 2017 year’s epic installment we don’t expect spots to last. Relive last year with a recap video, and take a look at the full 2018 lineup below. See you on the waterfront!
