Jay Funk Dawg Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 As one of the Evolve festival organizers, I have been hearing many great bookings for this year's Shoreline festival... Joel Plaskett, Xavier Rudd even Ron Sexsmith, however in recent weeks I have been alarmed that they had still yet to announce their line up. Anyways looks like they are pulling the plug on this year. see: http://www.shorelinefestival.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwa. Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 As some one who was there last year and experienced the fiasco first hand, I say fuck Shoreline and the horse it rode in on. Lack of ticket sales because of last years bullshit HAS to be the reason.Fuck'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenenbaum Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 what happened last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 what happened last year?IIRC, the festival was abruptly cancelled (after the Saturday night acts), and people were awakened by security at 8am on Sunday and told to leave. (Which is a nasty thing by itself: how many festival goers wouldn't be safe to drive at 8am on the Sunday of an all-weekend festival?) The organizer of the festival wasn't around, and was very quiet afterwards as to what happened; no refunds were issued.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kookycanooky Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Sweet O!??I for one think the awesome camp site at shoreline more then makes up for last year's fiasco. Plus a chance to visit Punk&margo's place...and the island is awesome, and that all you can eat seafood buffet...I'm still full from that dinner!I'm really really peeved that there was no explanation about last year's shit storm (literally and figuratively), but even still i love pei and would have gone back this year if it wasn't for the arrival of my future nephew. (and now, the cancellation. Hopefully Ozmodiard survived the weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwa. Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Sweet Oblivion? Something like that. gotta agree with ya kooky, if i was going to PEI it would be for Margot and Chris' wedding and not that festival though. This thread is bringing back great memories of last year though OZMODIAR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's tough to sell tickets when they never went on sale this year! yeah, my bitterness has caused me to overlook the facts Perhaps the bands they tried to book this year got wind of the bands from last year not getting paid.
