Tame and Tyler are my 18 y/o's top ten must sees. We would not be able to attend Friday, as it is graduation night. But, I'm seriously contemplating Sat/Sun and traveling 1200 miles to make this happen for her. For my daughter and I it has always been about shared experiences and creating memories together. I do not have a good relationship with my mother, but my most vivid memories of spending time with her revolve around live shows. She took me to my very first concert, The Beach Boys (original members) then groups like Genesis & REO Speedwagon (yah, i'm old.haha). Def going to keep an eye out for resale tix

Just 2 weeks off now. Waking this thread up in case anyone wants to share plans/coordinate meet ups. I will be Saturday only this year but really excited for it!
i’ve been wanting to go to Forecastle for years and just haven’t been able to make it work. think this years rendition might be a good move in between college graduation and Roo!
might throw a ticket on layaway tomorrow just in case tbh

idk if you've been before but it's a lot of dirt, which will translate to a lot of mud

i've gone on and off since 2013. i remember during outkast in 2014 there was a light drizzle the entire time and it felt so nice. i haven't been on a real rainy muddy day before but yeah the grounds have potential for being shitty.
courier journal had an article about the forecast for the festival (a "forecastle forecast", how did they not go with that??) and they specifically said maddy o'neal (3:30) and earl sweatshirt (5:45) are both sets that will probably get rained on. it seems like by the time clairo plays (7:45) the rain will be done
i’m in a misfits hoodie and got a clear backpack. if you see me feel free to say hi
I will be coming tomorrow. Probably will wear inforoo 20 years rooster shirt or maybe bonnaroo soccer jersey (blue #14) in case you spot me at any sets and want to say hi.

In 2015, the festival was called Friday night due to thunderstorms a couple songs into Sam Smith’s headlining set. They opened the gates a little late the next day because they had to set back up after heavy winds, but I don’t remember the grounds being especially bad.

hope y’all have fun this weekend. i’m about to head to the indy 500 campgrounds. my favorites yesterday were earl, clairo, indigo de souza, and porter robinson. it seems like this festival attracted every kid in greek life in kentucky but me and my pal had a fun time. i miss the forecastle lineups that were a bit more musically diverse but i live close to the festival so i can only complain so much. also the vips sections are massive and wack and they moved the stage that used to be under the overpass to be to the side of the overpass. tame, phoebe and great weather should make for an awesome day today

If in indy and a fan of cool cars you should head to monument circle to check out the Gumball3000 rally tonight or tomorrow! Im going to head to Nashville Monday to see them.
Wow, forecastle has changed over the years. They used to have a nautical theme that gave them an identity and had Jamie xx latenight on a boat. Now…nothing except for more port-o-pots and less food options. They even cut out the party boat area and stage underneath the overpass.
Evan Giia was solid, I would consider seeing her again at another festival.
Tai Verdes and Quinn whatever were both trash and waste of lineup space.
Beebadoobee was highlight set of the day! She has potential to be a big deal.
Moment of the day goes to waiting in life for restroom and Wax Motif starts bumping “We lost dancing”.
100 gecs were live action! But one buddy wasn’t feeling it, so went to Phoebe. I love her and have seen her before, but not sure she fits pre-headliner festival aesthetic.
15 mins of Lane 8 was epic, can’t wait for his roo set.
Tame Impala was legit, but sound was terrible near soundboard. My friend said we should of never left Lane 8 because we were in the cut.

we share similar feelings about the festival this year. i told my friend i went with that hadn't been before that there used to be another stage and a party cove and even more things out to do and now it felt like a few stages, food trucks, and not much else.
you mention waste of lineup space and i noticed that about the schedule on friday. the set changes weren't too long but there were so many acts that were simply ok and only three stages. the lineup looked bigger than what was actually worth watching.
also agree about phoebe. love her. she puts on a great show, but it doesn't translate to a festival setting super well. i'd put her daytime what stage or sundown which stage if i were booking her for bonnaroo. if you don't think she can pre headline a festival pitchfork thought she could headline a night of their festival.

I just went on Saturday for Tame Impala, always wanted to check out Forecastle. It's a well run event, the lineup this year wasn't great. Maybe the weakest/least diverse yet?
Anyways, never felt more out of place/old at a festival waiting for Tame Impala at the main stage. We camped out about 50 feet from stage around 4.
Phoebe Bridgers was solid, maybe some poor set selections for a festival but her catalogue isn't huge yet. No idea who anybody else was on Saturday.
Second best part of the weekend, flying in early for The War on Drugs on Thursday.

Sad seeing one of the original AC festivals take a pause. Never attended, but promoted it a lot during the old AC street team days, and it always had us right on the edge of attending, if not for Roo. I saw they went in a different direction musically last year and sounds like they scaled back some things on-site, reading this thread. Guessing that once LiveNation took over they tried to change the identity to fit with their festival portfolio better, kind of like how they’re tinkering with Bonnaroo and trying out changes. Here’s hoping they figure out whatever issues they’re facing and really do return.
incinnati Ohio babeyyyy
