I thought I'd heard somewhere that they had a show in Buffalo this Fall. Guess not!

I'll be there for the Sunday only. Can't wait!

Nice!

Saw it in the theatre in Toronto during the Hot Docs Festival and loved it. There was one intermission. It all flew by though, didn't seem too long at all!

Great times! What a treat indeed. It was a major skank reunion too - nice to see the lot of you, lurkers included.

Found a ticket!

DAMNIT! Looks like I missed it. I'm still looking for a ticket, in case anyone can help me out!

How did you get those? I am not seeing Don Henley on the list... https://kickofftosummer.hvnlnna.com/venue/budweiser-stage

https://nowtoronto.com/music/the-concert-hall-to-reopen-for-toronto-jazz-festival/#.WQi79_LwZOE.facebook Legendary music venue the Concert Hall is reopening in June The 100-year-old live music venue, housed in the old Masonic Temple building, will relaunch during the Toronto Jazz Festival and continue to operate year-round by Kevin Ritchie May 2, 2017 Storied live music venue the Concert Hall will reopen for Toronto Jazz Festival. The 100-year-old venue, which is housed inside 888 Yonge St. – the Masonic Temple building at the corner of Yonge and Davenport – will continue to operate year-round after the June festival. Toronto Jazz Fest, which takes place from June 23-July 2, is also moving to Yorkville where it will host more than 100 free concerts on various stages. Randy Bachman will mark the new beginning of the space on June 23 with a performance alongside Walter Trout and special guests. Tickets will be priced $19.17, a nod to the year the Concert Hall opened. One of two venues inside the Masonic Temple, the Concert Hall saw big-band orchestras perform there in the 30s and 40s and Frank Sinatra's private parties in the 50s. Its legend grew during the rock n' roll explosion of the 1960s: Led Zeppelin played their first Toronto show there in 1969 and it was a favoured rehearsal space for the Rolling Stones. During the 80s and 90s, the 1,500-capacity Concert Hall became the place to catch popular new wave and alt-rock acts such as Iggy Pop, Smashing Pumpkins, Nina Hagen, The Cure, Beastie Boys, The Tragically Hip, Rage Against The Machine and Sloan. However, the space ceased holding public concerts after Bell Media bought the Masonic Temple in 1998. The media giant used the six-storey building as a studio for shows such as eTalk and Open Mike With Mike Bullard, as well as MTV Canada and events such as the Polaris Prize. Bell put the building up for sale 2013 and it was purchased by London, Ontario-based IT firm Info-Tech Research Group for $12.5 million. "We are excited to partner with the TD Toronto Jazz Festival and reintroduce this historic venue to a new generation of music lovers,” said William Russell, executive director of 888yonge Inc, the company that books events in the building. Other acts set to play the Concert Hall during Jazz Fest include Allen, Carrington, Spalding, Robert Glasper Experiment, Shabaka & The Ancestors, John LaBarbera Big Band (paying tribute to Buddy Rich), Bokante and By Monk. The reopening is good news for promoters that have long complained Toronto is in need of more mid-sized concert halls. It's also timely: the 2,752-seat Massey Hall is preparing to close in 2019 for up to 24 months as part of a $135-million renovation.

Thought I'd bump this one to the top as its happening this week on Wed and Fri.

I had a feeling someone would correct me, NW. :-) Damn that would have been good. I'm hoping to make a Hillside comeback this year. Haven't been in way too long.

I've heard of about 10 as well, which more than what I recognize in the lineups for other festivals. A somewhat rare (these days) Barr Brothers appearance in Southern Ontario. Great to see Kevin Breit, Charlotte Cornfield, Luyas, Sarah Harmer on the list. Lacking in headliners? Who would headline this? I wish they would get Cyro Baptista to come and play one of these years.

1) The festival is one weekend earlier this year eh. Julye 14-16. 2) The lineup came out today: The Aerialists The Barr Brothers Begonia Big Brave Billy Bragg (also with Joe Henry) The Blurry Pickers Boogat Las Cafeteras Century Egg Chastity Charlotte Cornfield Cœur de pirate Ora Cogan Common Deer Communism Dead Flowers Carly Dow Duchess Says The Franklin Electric Future Peers Matt Haeck Sarah Harmer HIGHPARK Jaunt The Jerry Cans Kacy & Clayton Kaia Kater Kasador Kevin Breit & the Upper York Mandolin Quartet Lisa LeBlanc Lost Cousins The Lowest of the Low The Luyas Mbongwana Star Mt.

Thanks for the heads up!

5th row floor - not bad! My friend got us 20th row floor seats for Oshawa. Really looking forward to this! Somehow, it will actually be the first time I've ever had floor seats for an arena show.

I just got the targeted advertising for this on FB. 18 show Canada tour! That's pretty awesome. Has anyone here been to the Tribute Communities Centre in Oshawa? Wondering what it is like as a venue. Looks like the easiest alternative to the ACC show for Toronto dwellers.

Looks like they've re-released a small # of tickets for both Wilco shows this week. About 10 tix currently available for each night. I grabbed a pair for Thursday. Sweet!

I picked up some good balcony seats today. Can't wait!

Hopefully the August long weekend for us, which closes out the Bakers Dozen. Although I have to move into a new apt by Aug 1st which could easily mess with this plan. I wonder if there will be any other east side summer shows this year!

Anyone have any luck with PTBM? Not this guy... As usual. Although this time I opted to go balls to the walls and request GA ONLY. DIdn't work though.

Merry Christmas dudes!

I always enjoy these. Thanks!

No luck on tickets. :-( Anyone got one or two extras? :-)
