Hartamophone Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Pretty great. I would pay the ninety nine bucks for Van Morrison alone if he promised some Last Waltz kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Damn Sam, I wish they were presenting these types of lineups when I was working Production. This fest has come a long long way from the Britannia Beach days (which wasn't that long ago). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I'd love to see the south park City Wok guy promote the festival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Bouche had me fooled at the Carleton Tavern on Friday night. I had been a long time since I had seen him so we were catching up. Me: "I'm quite impressed with the lineup for City folk festival" Him: "Really? I thought it sucked" (accompanied by a convincing scowl) Me (thinking has it really been that long since I've seen him?) "Why, who would you rather see?" Him: "That DJ Zed who played at the bluesfest" anyway he had me fooled for a minute, I really thought he was serious. Good times bouche! bouche 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 The excellent Corb Lund was added to the lineup. Great addition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 just noticed this thing about lawn chairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartamophone Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I was at the Grand Point North festival in Vermont last weekend and there was a similar arrangement there: lawn chairs had to stay behind a white line, about halfway back from the main stage. It was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Love the way lawn chairs are relegated to the back, just like every other festival in the world! I have an extra pair of tickets for Saturday night if anyone's interested. $40 for the two, which is slightly less than what they cost me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phorbesie Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Victory!! Loving CityFolk so far! The Tubes were amazing. I love the new venue. The only issue I have so far is the sound in the Ravenlaw tent is so echoey and terrible. Don't think I'll be spending much time there. bouche 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted September 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 That RavenLaw Stage is a huge mis-step for this new site. Terrible sound and ventilation and very small capacity. There were hundreds of people outside waiting to get in last night. If you want to see anything in that building you have to miss what's on the big stage to go stand in a lineup (without beer). They should switch the functions of the Aberdeen and Horticulture buildings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted September 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Oh and Walk Off The Earth should do just that. Avett Bros were fairly good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 That sounds really promising for Built to Spill on the Ravenlaw stage on Sunday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted September 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 At least there's 45 minutes between Lucinda Williams and Built To Spill. Hopefully enough time to get in. Who knows though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I'm looking for an extra for Sunday if anyone's got one....will likely find something on Kijiji but I thought I'd throw it out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phorbesie Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 agreed AD. also the fact that you have to line up again to get OUT of the building to get scanned out before you go get scanned in to the main site again makes for too much waiting.and the Aberdeen was completely dark inside and you couldn't even make out what the vendors were trying to sell! they need some lighting in there! i bought a chai and the guy making it was opening up his different containers and sniffing them to figure out what ingredients were in them because he couldn't see!

phorbesie Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 i would definitely suggest getting on the go-to-Montreal-on-Saturday train if you really want to hear Built to Spill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 If anyone could comment on the vendor section over the weekend about any improvements / problems you saw I would appreciate it. We are thinking of coming back next year but so far this doesn't sound promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I really dug the new venue. I found the aberdeen horticulture to be a potential source for disappointment for pass holders. Imagine being locked out of the second stage? ouch. A guy that I knew left the Avett's nearly 1/2 hour before they were done and still didn't get in the aberdeen horticulture until about 10 minutes after Wintersleep started. It's a cool place to see a show, but as mentioned, the sound needs work. Also….it's hot like a goddamn greenhouse in there! I'm looking forward to seeing St.Paul & the Broken Bones tonight, but that enjoyment may be affected by the sound. There's photos and stuff from last night here: http://www.blog.jambands.ca/blog/2015/9/17/avett-brothers-reunite-with-ottawa-at-cityfolk-festival Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
