Forecastle 2016 Lineup: Avett Brothers, Alabama Shakes, Ryan Adams Set to Headline

The full lineup for the music festival came on Tuesday (Dec. 8) as Stereogum reports. Forecastle will take place in Louisville, Kentucky running from July 15 to 17.

Last year's lineup was no slouch with headliners such as Sam Smith, Modest Mouse and local heroes My Morning Jacket, but this year definitely steps it up another notch.

Between The Avetts, Brandi Carlile and Shakey Graves there's plenty of Americana artists keeping true to the festival's southern roots rock vibe. Acts such as Speedy Ortiz, Bully and White Denim will bring the energy with their brands of ferocious punk music while Phosphorescent, Moon Taxi and more hold up the indie rock side.

The biggest area lacking is in hip-hop, where Danny Brown is representing the genre with his brilliantly goofy styling.
