Forecastle Sweetens the Deal

First there was the announcement of Saturday's headliner, the Smashing Pumpkins. Now Cirque Berzerk has added their hats into the ring with eight performances throughout the weekend.

From the press release:

It's been called everything from "a circus on acid" to "French burlesque meets Sweeney Todd". Cirque Berzerk's unique flavor of adult psychedelic vaudevillian tomfoolery joins Smashing Pumpkins, Widespread Panic, The Flaming Lips and over 100 other artists at this year's Forecastle Festival in Louisville, Kentucky July 9, 10, and 11.

From stilt walkers to aerialists to punk rock clowns to pro riggers, Cirque Berzerk works together as a cohesive unit to produce visions of sexy fiery burlesque, dramatic flight and vaudevillian tomfoolery.
