Hartamophone Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) I know there's not much love for the Left Coast around these parts, but this looks like it'll be quite the show. Just down the road from Whistler - not a bad setting, I don't think.

AD Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 holy shit. where did this come from?fantastic headliner lineup and setting. the undercard is kinda weak and the tickets are really expensive and don't include camping. but wow, that's really cool. i hope they can pull it off. ambitious.

Hartamophone Posted March 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 holy shit. where did this come from?That's exactly what I wanted to know. It was completely off of my radar. I agree that there aren't the high-quality hidden bands there, but even the second-tier ones on the lineup (Black Mountain, MMJ, Metric etc.) should be stellar. The location is also a big draw. I think my Sasquatch plans just got scrapped (especially since I can see the REM/Modest Mouse/National tour in Vancouver). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulvee Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Yeah, I thought this looked pretty interesting..... but after putting a few numbers together for myself, wife and 2 kids to go, I quickly ruled myself out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mulvee Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 mulvee, Where are you?In Ontario, but my wife and I spent some time in Whistler years ago, and thought it'd be great to go back with the kiddies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartamophone Posted March 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 i am planning to be in BC in July, so I might just make this... Did I mention tickets are super expensive?Uuuhhh, yeah I think so. They went all out in the headliner department, which obviously drives the price up. They could have dropped two of those headliners and it would still be a top-shelf - and presumably less pricey - endeavour; I wonder if they gave that any thought, or if they just tried to get whomever they could. Not much rhyme or reason to the lineup, it doesn't look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
