Founded in Louisville, the scenic, outdoor event is equally based upon a three-part format: Music.Art.Activism. Combining the hardest working Midwest bands, legions of emerging artists, and multitudes of progressive enviornmental organizations - Forecastle is the place where the people come together.
Tickets are $10 for Friday, $15 for Saturday, and $20 for a 2-day pass - all proceeds go to 2007 national launch. There's also a limited number of VIP passes, which are all-access and include Thursday's kick-off party. Tickets can be purchased through Ticketweb.com and Ear-X-Tacy in Louisville, KY.
