Say it isn't so.

Louisville’s Forecastle Festival announced Thursday that the annual music festival is canceled for 2020.

It has been added to the long and growing list of major music festivals and events that have been postponed or canceled due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The three-day music festival held at Waterfront Park in downtown Louisville was scheduled for July 17-19. Iconic acoustic rocker Jack Johnson, 2020 Grammy-winning Kentucky natives Cage The Elephant and pop-rock sensation The 1975 were set to headline the 2020 Forecastle Festival.

Louisville's Jack Harlow, plus Grace Potter, Carly Rae Jepsen and Third Eye Blind were also scheduled to perform.

Founded in 2002 by Louisville native JK McKnight, Forecastle grew from a small community event first held in Tyler Park to one of the nation’s biggest summer festivals with more than 75,000 music fans attending each year.

Tickets will be automatically refunded at point of purchase and purchasers will receive an email with details on timing and processing, according to a statement on Forecastle's website. Organizers also said in its statement that the festival will return "stronger than ever" in 2021.

The announcement that Forecastle will cancel its 2020 event isn’t totally unexpected. Already several other major music festivals have announced cancellations including Firefly Festival, Governors Ball 2020, Alabama's Hangout Music Fest, South by Southwest and Burning Man will take place virtually.

Some festivals are crossing their fingers and hoping large gatherings will be allowed later in the year. Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, which takes place in neighboring Tennessee, has been rescheduled from June to Sept 24-27. Milwaukee's Summerfest 2020 has announced its moving to new dates: Sept. 3-5, 10-12 and 17–19 of this year.

Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals have been moved to October dates. Lollapalooza, scheduled to be held in Chicago’s Grant Park July 30 to Aug. 2, is still on track for a summer show although tickets have not gone on sale.
