Hartamophone Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I can't remember when this normally happens, as I've only been in Ottawa once or twice for the announcement in recent years. I couldn't get the official site to load, but figured folks around here would have a good idea. Also, any rumours circulating about possibilities for this year?Thanks.-Hart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 James Taylor announced his show here on his own, there was a thread about it so I think we can count that as confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Okay, I'll play Bluesfest wishlist:While I agree that most of Saxberg's suggestions are possible, especially Petty and Wonder, here's other bands that I could see playing:Tragically Hip (it's been a few years)Neil Young (can they finally nab him?)Bruce SpringsteenRush (why the hell not?)Jerry Lee Lewis (wasn't he actually on the bill for a few minutes last year)Randy Bachman (I can't believe they haven't booked him before)Ringo Starr (ain't gonna happen, but I'd love it)Eric Clapton Billy Tallent Annie LennoxI like Bluesfest.

Freak By Night Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I'll concur with you Velvet on your wishlist. That all sounds good. Didn't Randy Bachman play the first Bluesfest in 1994? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Not Bob Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Absolutely nothing to back this up, just casting my own personal wishlist net as wide as possible : Lou Reed Silversun Pickups Isaac Hayes Leonard Cohen Levon Helm Twilight Singers David Byrne Roxy Music King Crimson Heart (so I can finally get Fiona out to it again ) Alice In Chains (won't be the same without Layne, but still ...)
