The 2013 Louisville Experimental Festival just announced its full lineup. Taking place in various bars and clubs around Louisville from June 23rd through 26th, the fest is a great excuse for a Louisville road trip. While you’re in town, check out the wonderful Muhammad Ali Center, the Louisville Zoo, the Louisville Slugger Museum, and the Louisville Mega Cavern Underground Zip Line.

Headlining this year is Greg Ginn and The Royal We! Yes, that Greg Ginn. Other highlights include Tim Kaiser, Mike Shiflet, Darin Gray, and Keir Neuringer (video below).

Here’s the full lineup. Sadly, no Nashville bands this year.
