Forecastle looks pretty legit:

Widespread Panic
Sturgill Simpson
Modest Mouse
My Morning Jacket
Houndmouth
The Word (Robert Randolph, Cody/Luther Dickenson, John Medurski)

agreed, gonna be hot as balls....weather and the music....haven't seen mmj in a few years as they have been laying it low and recording a new album

would love to see sturgill though...

General consensus here (Louisville, KY) is disappointing

MMJ is a local band, and pretty much a given. The Word is the only band I truly would want to see. Sam Smith is a headliner for God's sake...

How long is it going to take for KY to finish all the road construction around Louisville? I came through there a few months ago going to Cincy & I-65 was jacked up for about 15 miles through town. Took me about and extra 1.5-2 hours for all the construction between Bowling Green and Cincy.

Yeah, I don't get Sam Smith either, but whatever. Even just WSP, MMJ, and Modest Mouse would be a pretty solid lineup.

I wish there was one more middle tier band that I was excited about - JJ Grey or Chris Robinson Brotherhood - But I'll take it.

In Louisville, you gotta go either Gene Snyder Pkwy. (265) or Watterson (264) around.
And they've been working on I-65 for about a decade now. The plan (I think) is to 3-lane the whole stretch from TN to Louisville. One lane crawling at 10 mph through the middle of nowhere is a given now.

shameless self promotion.

This is much smaller scale and is in Meridian, MS. The 59Twenty Music Festival (Meridian is where Interstates 59 and 20 meet) is a fourth year CHARITY MUSIC FESTIVAL benefitting the Care Lodge Domestic Abuse Shelter.

This year we will have
The Wailers (Bob Marley's band for those that dont know)
Drivin N Cryin
Black Pistol Fire - really worth checking out. alt rock type band
Old Southwest
Mississippi Shakedown
Storage 24

Festival is March 28, 2015 from 1pm-11pm in downtown meridian. Again, it is a charity festival and a great growing festival in our state. we have had Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Marshall Tucker Band, North MS Allstars, Sonny Landreth, Rosco Bandana, and many more over the first 3 years.

TICKETS ARE ONLY $20 IF YOU GET THEM AHEAD OF TIME!!! Support a good cause and enjoy some good music
