Five weeks after Kentucky festival Forecastle released this year’s initial lineup, the festival has now added more than a dozen exciting acts to the bill, ranging from electro duo Ghostland Observatory and bass master Baauer, to indie darlings Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Dan Auerbach-fronted The Arcs. Other additions include Pokey Lafarge, Hudson Mohawke, AlunaGeorge, Tourist, Heartless Bastards, Patrick Watson, Teddy Abrams and Friends, Sarah Jarosz, Banners, Madisen Ward and The Mama Bear, River Tiber, Seratones, Black Pistol Fire, Joan Shelley, Future Thieves, and Myzicja.
The newest additions join heavyweight headliners The Avett Brothers, Alabama Shakes, Ryan Adams, and Death Cab for Cutie. They are also joining electro powerhouse duos Big Gigantic and Sylvan Esso, indie psych band Glass Animals, and Ben Harper reunites with The Innocent Criminals prior to their new album release on April 8. The Arcs are joined by other five-man indie rock bands including Blackberry Smoke, Moon Taxi, Grouplove.
The three-day music festival will celebrate its 14th year on 85 acres of Waterfront Park land on July 15–17.
