edger Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I think this is a great lineup...kind of wish it had been released earlier. Summer plans are well underway for me at this point and I don't think I can make any of this happen. I think even the 'lesser knowns' look/sound extremely promising. You lucky o-towners!!

MamaPink Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I'm still expecting Ween to be announced...Spoke to Gener last night...Uh... flaming lips AND ween? I don't know if I could handle that... seriously. But I would.By the way, do you talk to Gener often? I do, in my dreams... all the time. He tells me he loves me and then sings Johnny on the spot in a cappella - all slow and sultry. mmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic ChrisC Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 So I went to bed angry at the Ottawa Senators last night. But woke up to the sweet sound of Ollie telling me that Iron Maiden is confirmed! Yeeha! Can't believe it! Then he tells me about Further...what? Yippee! Then he tells me about the Flaming Lips...hooray! And then Rush... very cool! Steve Hackett...nice!! The Musical Box?!...weird but great! Hold Steady...no way! And so on! I got up 15 minutes earlier than usual. Happy! Love it! Ottawa Senators...whatever. See ya at Maiden losers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I'm actually curious to see if Robert Randolph is indeed going downhill. I do think the Arcade Fire will be a tough act to beat; they are one of the best live bands I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I'm totally pleased with the line-up, and the day off in the middle is a great idea. Old folks like me need a rest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeker Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I stand corrected Ollie. Still seems weird to let the fest sit dark for a day, but maybe I'm just bitter because that is the first day of my vacation.Going over the list it seems that, compared to other years, they haven't really dished out the big money for acts. Now I have no clue what these acts charge or what the Bluesfest budget is but it seems scaled back. I mean who on that list would be really that expensive besides say Santana? There's lots of Canadian bands, mid tier acts and unknowns.I'm hoping this means they saved their dollahs for some more big names, I guess we'll see.

"It's hard to top every year but I would say if you look at the major festivals across North America, this lineup stands with the best of them," Monahan said. The theme is Bluesfest Goes to Hollywood, a nod to the fact that actor Kevin Costner and his band, Modern West, are booked to perform July 17.Monahan said the $5-million total includes the money spent on programming the Blues in the Byward offshoot festival, which will feature free outdoor concerts in the Byward Market over two weekends: July 9-11 and July 16-18. That lineup will be announced in mid-May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
