The 2012 version of LouFest is set to hit Forest Park on August 25th & 26th, and this year it promises to have the most balloons, confetti and laser beams ever. Both headliners, Oklahoma City’s fearless freaks The Flaming Lips and Pittsburgh’s mash-up genius Girl Talk, are well known for their over-the-top live shows that provide total sensory overload and never fail to leave the crowd grinning from ear to ear.
The rest of the lineup is equally strong, with local heroes like Son Volt and Sleepy Kitty and transcendent, ageless rockers in Dinosaur Jr. Of course, it also features a steady diet of “indie” rock, with bands like Dr. Dog and Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin.
Check out the full lineup in the latest issue of Eleven, on stands now!
