Northern Wish Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Not sure where he got the rest, but BS have tour dates posted on their site and a blank mark next to July 15.The most common discussion surrounding that date on a few boards is for Ottawa Bluesfest.

zero Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 My first concert was The Band with Billy Preston (Stan Szelest was supposed to play the tour but died) in '89 at the Ontario Place Forum. Second big concert was '93 with Hall & Oates at Massey Hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I could see that Skrillex guy get a booking. I don't know if I believe that Black Sheep will go back to strict comedy- some of the best 'club size' acts musically played that stage (often to sparse audiences but still). Last year the most electronic acts were say Passion Pit and Rural Alberta Advantage if you like (Konono no. 1 too who played Black Sheep for instance). I'm curious more than the routing likelihoods about what Monahan wants to do with programming dollars across genres. Hence looking at what's registered in the past year or two in independent musical circles. I mean for instance apart from Drake (who cancelled didn't he?) and Down With Webster there was no hip hop really- I could see that change.

Northern Wish Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 YES just announced a tour and play in 'the general area' (New Hampshire and upstate NY) during Bluesfest with nights off on July 10 and 13.Opening act is Styx.The lineup is listed as: Steve Howe Chris Squire Alan White Benoit David Oliver Wakeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I'm curious more than the routing likelihoods about what Monahan wants to do with programming dollars across genres. This is a total guess but with some of the rumored acts such as Mary J Blige, 3oh3!, Kanye West, Macy Gray etc. it would seem that 2011 is the year to bring in another subset of the population.We already had blues of course in many years, jam (05), classic rock (09) and, heavy metal (10) years; so maybe its time for Bluesfest to start appealing to the 20 somthing R+B fans.?I mean it makes sense if you think about it. How many new fans can you possibly cultivate if you just stick to Steve Miller, Great Big Sea, Blue Rodeo and The Hip every single year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I dunno. Kanye played Bluesfest not that long ago. Last year we had Drake. Previous to that Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg. Plus other acts I'm forgetting. Monahan has been courting the urban crowd for a few years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Yes I agree.I'm not saying he has never appealed to them before- but to bring them in you have to put 4 or 5 artists together to really make a difference in advance ticket sales (such as Iron Maiden, Rush and Dream Theatre last year - or Mick Taylor, Yardbirds, Alan Parsons, The Zombies, Spencer Davis in 2009).Sure he was courting several scenes, but I think each year tends to have one genre that is overrepresented in comparison to the previous events, or compared to the popular vote.
