Forecastle Festival 2012

Editor | July 19, 2012

Both Louisvillians and visitors from all over the country gathered together at the Waterfront July 13 through 15 to see their favorite bands (and a few new ones) play at Forecastle Festival 2012. The music festival, themed, “Music, Art, and Activism,” boasted an incredible lineup of 68 groups and artists that included Louisville’s own My Morning Jacket, Bassnectar, Wilco, Neko Case and Sleigh Bells.

Despite a schedule delay on Saturday because of the rain, festival-goers had a blast enjoying the music, diverse crowd and on-site activities such as living art exhibitions and a live marching band.
