At this year's Forecastle Festival (July 12-14) in Louisville, the Black Keys have locked down the headline spot while such critical darlings as the Avett Brothers, Flaming Lips and Alabama Shakes will help round out the three-day festival. Tickets go on sale Wednesday at noon ET. In April, single day passes and late night show tickets, along with the daily schedule, will be released.
Ticket prices for all three days range from $125 to $180.
The fest also will feature the Bourbon Lodge, where fans can immerse themselves in Kentucky's famous bourbon heritage. To help cut down on carbon emissions and give fans a chance to get the party started earlier, the festival provides Rock & Bus, a shuttle that will come pick up you and your friends from your town, if you live in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio or Tennessee.
