Louisville's favorite outsider music festival is happening May 17 – 19. Poorcastle will celebrate their 10-year anniversary with a stellar lineup of bands playing all weekend in Breslin Park (1400 Payne St.).
“Poorcastle has an inertia that I can’t quite explain,” said co-founder Butch Bays in a release. “The festival owes its success and longevity to the musicians that have participated over the years and the thousands of people who have come out to support them. Our artists, our community, they know they have ownership in it. That just brings a certain magic to the festival.
“The depth of talent here is astonishing, and I think this tenth anniversary is ultimately a testament to the community’s willingness to support our local music scene.”
In addition to the music the festival will host local vendors, food trucks, immersive art installations, beer and cocktails from Apocalypse Brew Works and The MerryWeather.
The festival is family and dog-friendly.
Poorcastle is a non-profit organization and proceeds from the show go to support local music organizations like AMPED, Louisville Leopard Percussionists, and Out Loud Louisville who all bring music programming to local youth.
