Starting at the beginning, New York music blog Consequence of Sound will present the official Forecastle kickoff party Thursday, July 12 featuring indie pop duo Dean & Britta and electronic act Purity Ring, according to a news release.
The 21-and-over opening party is scheduled for Club 116, which we never heard of. But Club 116 takes its name from its address, 116 E. Main St., which is the old Petrus space. Which was the Badlands before than and about a dozen other clubs.
An after-party Saturday, July 14 is scheduled on Belle of Louisville. After they play Forecastle Festival, several MMJ members will go on to play with the jazz band, though details about this after-party from AC Entertainment and The Forecastle Festival officials are a bit sketchy. The release promises details to follow.
Tickets for both events go on sale starting noon Sat., May 19 on the Forecastle website here.
Tickets for the Club 116 party are $22 plus service fees.
Tickets to the Saturday after-party aboard the Belle of Louisville will be $50 plus service fees and are only available on-line, according to the release.
A portion of after-party tickets will be donated to the Center for Women and Families, a Louisville non-profit dedicated to helping victim of abuse or sexual violence, according to the release.
And before we forget, the actual Forecastle Festival is July 14 through July 15.
For the 10th anniversary event, My Morning Jacket, Wilco, Bassnectar, Andrew Bird, Girl Talk, Atmosphere, Neko Case, Sleigh Bells and A-Trak are some of the bands scheduled to play.
