Two interesting facts came across the transom this morning: Listen Live Entertainment, the producers of LouFest, is joining forces with C3 Presents, with the goal of growing the festival: C3 produces Lollapalooza in Chicago, as well as the Austin City Limits Festival. Though Listen Live says that "fans can expect a larger footprint with more stages and more bands," they will continue to emphasize "local food and restaurants, a family component, and an ongoing commitment to sustainability, including an annual contribution to the parks system for improvements in Forest Park and other parks around the city." Sounds good to us.
Ah, and another piece of need-to-know info: next year's festival will take place September 7 and 8, rather than in the infernal heat of mid-to-late August. You can track updates on next year's festival at loufest.com.
