  1. Freaker's wish list is basically the Osheaga lineup.

    Oh it's not my wish list just a quick list I culled from TURF, Osheaga, Lolla etc...To show the number of great, relevant acts that are out there this year, heavily touring summer festivals.

    My wish list is this festival - http://shakykneesfestival.com/

    Stupid Atlanta and their stupid awesome festival

  2. Oh I'm sure that will all be added

    Outside of Jenny Lewis I'm not excited about any of this. Sure it will be great to see Deltron, Truckers and Deer Tick again but where the fuck are:

    Spoon

    Eminem

    Arctic Monkeys

    Modest Mouse

    Beck

    Jack White

    Outkast

    The Replacements

    The Hold Steady

    Foster the People

    Chromeo

    They're all touring heavily this summer for fuck sake!

  3. Well now we know what crushed Monahan's spirit, this a huge lineup for Osheaga they obviously have made some big time partners helping pull the strings, C3 for one at least.

    Personally I think the lineup is shit but you gotta give them props for booking the big names

    What I don't get though is Lollapalooza and Osheaga have almost identical lineups and they're on the same weekend?!? That has to be a logistical nightmare

  4. MORE ARTISTS ADDED: July 13th:

    Serena Ryder

    Phosphorescent

    Half Moon Run

    Finally something to get excited about! Phosphorescent is fucking amazing and I've been loving HRM lately

  5. Question for our resident lawyers;

    Since the smoking ban bylaw only applies to municipal lands and not federally owned lands, can the Bluesfest legally ask patrons not to smoke on what is essentially public property?

    Please educate me.
