I really want to. My wife has family close by that she'd like to visit, so I may make this the time we do it. Has anyone been before? I'd like to know what we're getting in to.
Ought to be interesting... They've gone a lot larger this year than they have in the past... But with the economy the way it is, I don't know about $100 for a festival where I only know 4 acts that are playing... I'll have to wait for more acts to be announced before I commit

Dear Travelers ~
The Forecastle Festival and Nederlander Entertainment are proud to announce the second wave of artists to the 8th annual Forecastle Festival, July 10th - 12th in Louisville, KY. This announcement follows previously announced headliners Widespread Panic (2 nights), The Black Crowes, The Black Keys, and The Avett Brothers.
Zappa Plays Zappa is a grammy-award winning band led by Dweezil Zappa, the oldest son of the late American composer and musician Frank Zappa, devoted to performing the music of Frank Zappa. His shows presented a collection of Frank Zappa's rock compositions from 1960s to 1980s.
Umphrey's McGee is an American progressive rock / jam band whose music is often referred to as "progressive improvisation." Having opened Dave Matthews Band's most recent summer tour, the band has become a mainstay at major festivals and amphitheatres. Their most recent album, Mantis, was awarded 4-stars by Rolling Stone, who called them "the odds-on favorites to be the next Phish".
Yonder Mountain String Band are an American progressive bluegrass band from Colorado. With 10 years of touring under their belt, the group's rock-infused bluegrass has built a devoted following across the country. The band has become accustomed to performing in large venues amphitheatres like The Fillmore in San Francisco and Red Rocks in Colorado. They are also a favorite at Telluride and other popular, summer festivals.
