Louisville natives and residents My Morning Jacket have teamed up with the city’s biggest festival, the Forecastle Festival, for a partnership that will find MMJ curating the fest’s 10th anniversary from July 13 – 15 at Louisville’s Waterfront Park.
Organizers expect to announce the full lineup soon, but have revealed that MMJ will headline on Saturday night and “will collaborate with producers on festival sights, sounds and experiences, as well as charitable aspects of the event.” “Expect a few surprises,” said Jim James, lead singer of My Morning Jacket in a press release. “This is something we’ve wanted to play for a long time, and plan to make it very special. It’s a opportunity to show people what Louisville is all about, and why this is such a special city.”
Tickets will go on sale this Friday for $100, but the price will increase once the limited number of “early bird” tickets sell out.

‘Curate’ – please elaborate on what you mean by the use of this term.
“From booking bands and curating late night shows, to choosing philanthropic partners, My Morning Jacket is collaborating with Forecastle for this year’s 10th Anniversary.” – From MMJ’s announcement
