Esau. Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Work this one out instead... In just one week, 40,000 people will make their way to Burl’s Creek Event Grounds for the WayHome Music and Arts Festival and a permit issued on Tuesday night has led to some new concerns. Oro-Medonte town council approved a special events permit for 92 acres that is already zoned appropriately for the event. However, a permit needed for more than 400 acres that would be used for camping and parking was denied. "Simply because it is not zoned and it's illegal, and we cannot condone an illegal act by anybody," says Deputy Mayor Ralph Hough. If festival organizers allow parking and camping on the newly acquired land surrounding Burl’s Creek, it will be illegal and there will be consequences."Our bylaw staff will go before the courts and lay charges under the relevant acts, under the planning acts for zoning violations," says Hough.

Northern Wish Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 They'll just pay the big fine and not bat an eye. I read the max fine would be $50,000 which is the same cost as an also ran 90's hit maker in today's festival market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 You would be surprised what acts get paid at festivals. It's more than a routed tour plus decadent travel expenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm not surprised)I was a fan of Sloan so I'm not really surprised, it's just been a while since I've heard anything they've done. I'm just surprised they would get 50,000. Good on them if they do.

Northern Wish Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 I'm interested to hear how things ran. The big fest definitely impacted the Hillside crowd, which was awesome as always but attendance was definitely down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffhead77 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 I went and had a great time. Very well run and quite organized. Sound was crispy, weather was amenable and the VIP was great! They had an oyster shucking stn for gawd sakes! One complaint - security was too tight. Would only let you bring in unopened packs of cigarettes. Bizarre.

edger Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Would only let you bring in unopened packs of cigarettes. Bizarre. Very bizarre. Reminds me of my buddy Rusty at the first night in Chicago. Security would only let him bring in his smokes if he removed them from the pack and threw the pack away. WTF?

AD Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Not worth a whole new thread, but interesting to note that Ray Lamontagne is touring this year with MMJ (minus Jim James) as his backing band. That oughta be pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Trouble but it went downhill fast. I just don't like how he projects his voice anymore. But if MMJ are giving him their blessing and Jim James is producing his new album perhaps I shouldn't overlook this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
