The Forecastle Festival Tickets

Never experienced anything like forecastle, planning on going again next year. Loved it!

Best festival I’ve been to! Only attended Sunday but the set up was great, amazing performances, great food and drink variety.

Chris Stapleton was the draw for me but got to listen to a few other great artists. The food lines were manageble and cost reasonable. Love the idea of bring empty water bottles to reduce trash but need more water lines. Those lines were crazy long.

I decided to purchase VIP tickets and had a great time at the fest this year. My only suggestions would be that I would love to have a water filling option in VIP and a food option. The would make the experience absolutely PERFECT. I loved the viewing areas at the 2 stages, all the amazing tents like the glitter and the braids, etc. Those small touches really made the fest more fun! I was also super happy with the lineup. One of the better lineups I saw for the festivals this year. Arcade Fire was 0_0 <3 <3!!! Looking forward to next year!

Outstanding. Great variety and quality. Will definitely plan to attend next year.

Forecastle was so well laid out and Arcade Fire rocked like no other

The festival is well-organized, and books great bands. It's always a fun time

Nice riverfront festival. 3 large music stages and 1 small tent. Some shade. Large grassy areas in the sun, great for those artistic individuals to flaunt their talents, juggling, twirling, hula hooping, dancing, or just to stand or sit on a blanket. Loud music, lots of beer booths. A fun festival, but the music was geared for a young crowd. The tent was set up for 'local' talent. It would be nice if the tent could have more acoustic groups.

Forecastle is one of the best festivals going . Priced right . Good lineup . Good food . Great venue !

Great time at Forecastle 2018! One of the absolute best mid-size city fests going. During my 3 days of fun, I saw Arlie, Devon Gilfillian, I'm With Her, AJR, Berhana, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Wax Fang, Father John Misty, Vance Joy, Modest Mouse, The Josephines, Spencer Lee Band, Daphne Willis. Pvris, Elliot Root, Jimmy Eat World, Jenny Lewis, Houndmouth, T-Pain, Matt Maeson, Colony House, Saint Jhn, White Reaper, Khruangbin, Trampled By Turtles, Punch Brothers, Jason Isbell, Vic Mensa and Arcade Fire!!! That's some bang for your buck, right there. If you haven't gone yet, you should.

This has been my favorite festival I have attended. I prefer it over bonnaroo and pilgrimage due to the atmosphere. We heard a great lineup and the stages weren’t too far apart to skip back and forth if we wanted to. The VIP ticket is definitely worth the price for the air conditioned bathrooms and lounge, not to mention close proximity to the stage. Overall we had a great experience!

This was my first major festival that I drove eight hours to attend. Music and artists was great, on time for their time slots. Never wait long in concession lines or anything else.

From discovering random new bands to listening to ones I love this festival was fantastic. Hippie Sabotage was especially insane.

The bands this year were much more famous and much better performers than years past. The food was also really good, but a little too expensive, so I mostly brought my own snacks. The venue was fun, and the bands were good for all ages.

Ok folks I attend a lot of Festivals, Coachella, Shaky Knees, Sasquatch, ACL, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, RiotFest, etc.. so my review is based on comparing Forecastle to these other festivals. Obviously, Forecastle is much smaller than these other festivals so for that reason it is easier to get around the festival grounds and get near the front of the two larger stages. That is one positive of Forecastle. The lineup was a bit lighter than most festivals so you didn't have as much variety and volume of bands. Part of the festival experience to me is the location because you are there for 3 days. By the third day you are immersed in the music and the location which makes festivals memorable. I had a problem with the Forecastle location. While it is downtown and easy access to hotels, etc the fact that there is a freeway overpass in the middle of the festival grounds is ridiculous. The artists view from both the larger stages is of a freeway overpass. Are you kidding me? Food vendors, bars and merch vendors were UNDER the freeway overpass. Not my idea of a unique festival setting. So if you don't care about location and want to go see good headliners, Modest Mouse, Arcade Fire and Chris Stapleton were all excellent, then the festival won't disappoint. But if you want a full festival experience with a unique location and diversity of lineup then Forecastl isn't for you.

Jason isbell was absolutely mind blowing! He was definitely the best concert there. My only issue with forecastle was it was too family friendly. There were wayyy too many younger kids running around.

Well organized and run festival. Music started on time at each stage. Sound was great for all but one or two acts. Porta potties were enough and clean. The water distribution sights were fairly smooth and lines not too long( Saturday afternoon the lines got long).Grounds were kept clean. I liked being able to bike there. My only wish was that there were a few more areas of shade closer to the stages( temporary tarps?).

I had the time of my life. At 62 I realize even more that I love live music and Forecastle has for the third time for me delivered rock folk country once again. Even the hot weather couldn’t wilt my enthusiasm. Barnett was great. Isbell great. Jimmy great. I’m With Her amazing. All so cool.

Forecastle was an unforgettable experience, and definitely a great idea if you are trying to pop your festival cherry! It's very organized, laid back, and affordable. I'll definitely be going again next year!

If you have one of the inflatable lounges (Fatboy, Wekapo) it would be nice if Forecastle had a wind/air station like the Reverb water stations so you can fill them bad boys up with air instead of running like wild men through crowds. PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!!
