KISS, Counting Crows, Stone Temple Pilots at Bayfest

Posted 1 day ago

The Observer

Bayfest’s rock weekend lineup is official, with KISS, Counting Crows, Stone Temple Pilots and The Trews hitting the stage in July.

Organizer Michele Stokley said she was relieved to finally get the word out.

“People have been so anxious to know the lineup. It’s been more overwhelming this year than any other year,†she said, noting online petitions and social networking groups focused on Bayfest 2009.

“It’s great that people are putting so much thought into Bayfest.â€

Internet rumours had focused on KISS making an appearance in Sarnia, and Stokley said she can finally confirm it.

“We’ve been trying for years and years to get them,†she said, noting organizers came close last year but conflicting tour dates kept the legendary rockers away.

“It feels really good; we’re really excited.â€

The two-weekend Rogers Bayfest concert will kickoff Thursday July 9 with U.S. rockers Counting Crows. The band is well known for their 1993 hit single “Mr. Jones,†and most recently for the song “Accidentally in love,†featured on the Shrek 2 soundtrack.

Denis Armstrong (Sun) has a "Bluesfest Scoop" (that he probably read here). It lists many of the artists Todd has been keeping track of but also adds a few new names to the rumours.

http://www.blog.canoe.ca/nowopen

Sources close to the festival are reporting that Kiss, guitar-slinger Jeff Beck, former Rolling Stone Mick Taylor, The Alan Parsons Project, Paul Simon and Jackson Browne, folkie Chris Smither, Traffic guitarist Dave Mason, David Lindley, Belle and Sebastian, Stone Temple Pilots, Los Lonely Boys, Michael Jerome Browne and Blue Rodeo will play the 2009 Cisco Systems Bluesfest at LeBreton Flats between July 9-19.

Also fanning the rumour mill is Grand Funk Railroad, The B-52s, Death Cab for Cutie, Arcade Fire and Iggy Pop.

The complete schedule for Bluesfest will be announced on April 22 on their website www.ottawabluesfest.ca

I was just mentioning the Paul Simon rumour to phorbesie this morning. That would be awesome, but as she pointed out, it would be a lawnchair fiesta.

As I pointed out on this good rumour page, the fact that Michael Jerome Browne is playing Ottawa Folkfest sort of eliminates him from Bluesfest, doesn't it?
