Cage the Elephant, The 1975, Jack Johnson, BROCKHAMPTON, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, and Tash Sultana top a stellar 2020 Forecastle Festival lineup, which also includes performers like Clairo, Carly Rae Jepsen, Grace Potter, Jack Harlow, Third Eye Blind, Manchester Orchestra, LP, Thundercat, Parquet Courts, (Sandy) Alex G, Andy Shauf, Caroline Rose, Elohim, Ratboys, Nashville’s own Soccer Mommy, Julien Baker, Drew Holcomb, Illiterate Light, Dreamer Boy, Josie Dunne, Parrotfish, The Wans (not to mention Cage the Elephant), and more!
The annual Louisville fest returns for its 18th year July 17-19, and, following this morning’s lineup announcement, tickets are set to go back on sale today, Feb. 12 at 11 a.m. CST here, in a variety of standard and VIP weekend packages (single day will presumably go on sale at a later date). Yet another event following this year’s refreshing trend of festival lineup differentiation, Forecastle’s bill is certainly one of the summer’s most distinctive, as always using their somewhat limited space to cover a wide range of genres and mix of new and returning performers, helping make it one of our favorite fests year after year. Relive last year’s stealer lineup with a 2019 recap video, and take a look at the full 2020 lineup below, which, like last year, is once again broken by day off the bat. See you on the waterfront!
