Okay kids, all wound up and no place to go after Bonnaroo this weekend? Point that GPS at Kentucky and head to Louisville next weekend. That’s when the latest, greatest installment of the mighty Terrastock Festival — that live action outgrowth of the equally formidable Ptolemaic Terrascope magazine championing all things underground, experimental psychedelic, freak-folky and more — takes place. Previously held in such far-flung locations as Seattle, Providence, San Francisco and London, Terrastock’s seventh installment descends on Louisville on June 19 – 22.

Among the featured performers: Makoto Kawabata (of Acid Mothers Temple), Kinski, Antietam,  Windy & Carl, Wooden Shjips, Damon & Naomi, Bardo Pond, Sharon Krauss, Linus Pauling Quartet, Oneida, MV + EE with the Golden Road, Simply Saucer,  Go to the Terrastock 7 website for a full listing of artists.

This year’s event will be held in Lousville at the Mellwood Arts and Entertainment Center (1860 Mellwood Avenue). The building is  a refurbished industrial plant turned creative environment,  housing over 180 artist studios, retail shops and more. There are three stages (2 indoors, 1 outdoors), and over 40 booths featuring record shops, visual artists and unique retail vendors. More details, including a map of the grounds, travel and hotel info, etc.,  can also be found at the above website.

Full festival passes for T7 are available as an incredible bargain for only $85, while one-day passes are $15 (for Thursday, which won’t be a complete day) and $25 (Friday, Saturday, Sunday). For all ticket questions and queries contact:
