Forecastle Festival Ticket Giveaway!


With the summer festival season about to kick off, I figured it would be a good time to do another giveaway here on The Futurist. And we are proud to be a part of the 7th Annual Forecastle Festival this year, which takes place just down the road in Louisville, Kentucky at the end of July.

Forecastle does an excellent job of combining great music, art and culture into a great weekend every year and it should be a great thing to experience again this year. Along with national acts like Method Man, Tortoise, Film School, Snowden and Dr. Dog, Forecastle also has a great regional feel with bands like Pomegranates, Seedy Seeds, Cabin & The Photographic represented.

I hope you can join me at this years festivities, should be a great time. The festival is July 25th-27th and the full lineup can be had right here.

Now, on to the free stuff. I have passes for the festival in a few varieties to give away over the course of the next week. You can win a three day pass, or a single day pass for Friday, single pass Saturday or single day pass for Sunday.

To register for the contest, simply send an email to woxycontests at g mail dot com. In the subject line enter the ticket you want. So either “3 Day Pass” or “Single Day Friday” etc would go in the subject line. Good luck to all and expect to see the winners announced here before the end of next week!
