Bonnaroo 2011. If you don't go, you'll never know. [Music Festivals]

This year, with the lack of previous local major music festivals such as Hullabaloo and Forecastle - Bonnaroo celebrates it's 10th anniversary and there's no shortage of musicians, artists, and local Louisvilleians who plan to attend just across our southern border. If you don't go, you'll never know. And if you've been, you'll go again. I am.

The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival is a four-day, multi-stage camping festival held on a beautiful 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee every June. This year From June 9th-12th, Bonnaroo brings together some of the best performers in rock and roll, along with dozens of artists in complementary styles such as jazz, Americana, hip-hop, electronica, and just about any contemporary music you can think of.

Forecastle Festival not to return until 2012, and will bring a friend [Music]

Forecastle founder JK McKnight is set to announce Thursday morning that Forecastle will not come to the riverfront again until 2012, and when it returns, things will be different.

  The Forecastle Festival tenth anniversary concert has been shelved for a year with the cancellation of the 2011 concert. Forecastle founder JK McKnight announced Thursday morning that Forecastle will not come to the riverfront again until 2012, and when it returns, things will be different.  McKnight has partnered with AC Entertainment, founders of Bonnaroo, and have said that now they don’t have enough time to organize a festival of the same caliber as last year’s.  

 

Churchill Downs's HullabaLOU Music Festival lineup disappoints

New three-day music festival lacks relevant, young performers

Looking for live updates and information on getting to Hullabalou? Visit Louisville.com's HullabaLOU roundup page. 

When I first heard that Churchill Downs was hosting HullabaLOU Music Festival July 23-25, my immediate reaction was to contact the folks I went to Bonnaroo with this year and see if they wanted to go.Then I read the festival's lineup.

Local Legend To Headline Bonnaroo (and we don't mean Jim James)

It wasn't invented here, but one of bluegrass' favorite sons is headed south to show that Louisville can do it right.
By Kevin Wilson kevin@louisville.com There are many master musicians in the world of bluegrass, but Sam Bush consistently tops most lists. This is true of players, critics and fans alike. The decidedly unconventional Kentucky native is widely known as the “bad boy of bluegrass,” although these days you won’t catch him drinking on the job. As Bush explains, “The joy of playing music is the joy for me.”
