Today we'll be happy to tell you why we think Forecastle truly holds the most diverse 2017 lineup.

So from the gecko, the three headlining acts are massive names on such enormous different platforms. You'll be able to experience a once in a lifetime live show from LCD Soundsystem, the true definition of modern rock with Weezer, and our all time favorite electronic act, Odesza. Honestly, these three performance over a three-day weekend would be memorable enough for many to attend and we solute Forecastle for bringing different themed headliners each night.
