GZA AND DEL ADDED TO FORECASTLE
Forecastle is thrilled to announce the addition of Wu-Tang Clan founder GZA and Heiroglyphics founder Del the Funky Homosapian as co-headliners of the festival’s opening night, July 25th at the Riverfront Belvedere. Largely viewed as the masterminds behind two of hip-hop’s most influential dynasties, they unite to replace Wu-Tang’s Method Man, who has cancelled due to a personal conflict. Refunds, if desired, may be obtained at the original point of purchase.
