This year's Forecastle Festival — taking place July 12-14 at Louisville's Waterfront Park — will feature performances from The Black Keys, The String Cheese Incident, The Avett Brothers, The Flaming Lips, Alabama Shakes, Jim James, Animal Collective, Old Crow Medicine Show, Big Boi, Kurt Vile and the Violators, Toro y Moi, Bob Mould Band and much more, no to mention local performers Mona, Moon Taxi and Night Beds. Now, local live-music enthusiasts may notice that many of the aforementioned acts — The Black Keys and Flaming Lips, and Animal Collective, and Jim James, for starters — will be playing Nashville in the coming months. But so long as you don't mind a little road trip, this here is your best shot at seeing all of 'em for as little as 'round about $125.
