The alternative music festival, now in its third year, announced its preliminary lineup yesterday. The three-day festival is scheduled at venues in and around the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood on March 9-11, 2012. TVD contributor Ariane Trahan of Easy Apple is a local programming partner.
Other acts that are confirmed to appear include J Roddy Walston & The Business, Big Freedia, Shayfer James, The Men, Aunt Martha, Black Taxi and The Pharmacy.
Local and regional acts are also featured including Sun Hotel, Caddywhompus, Rotary Downs, Big History, Brass Bed, Katey Red, Sissy Nobby, Jean-Eric, King Rey, Royal Teeth, Prom Date and others.
In total, nearly 100 acts will perform in over ten venues in the Marigny and the Bywater. Plus, Foburg 2012 is expanding into new territories with the launch of Foburg.film, Foburg.comedy and more.
As always, all shows can be attended by paying an individual cover or patrons can buy a Foburg weekend pass, which grants access to all of the programming – music, film, and comedy. Foburg weekend passes will be on sale later this week starting at $25.
