Freak By Night Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I think Industry Canada handing over $2 million to the Bluesfest was the big announcement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 The festival expects to announce the lineup for the free concerts next Monday and announce extra programming for Lebreton Flats by June 1, Monahan said at a news conference. Festival organizers will also launch a $500,000 international marketing campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 As far as international marketing goes, the Bluesfest can get a big bang for the buck by acquiring a dot com domain name. Seriously, when I tell my American friends and relatives about .ca websites, their eyes glaze over and they don't want to know about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Habs Fan Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Neil Young is coming to Bluesfest.According to sources close to the festival, Bluesfest's executive director Mark Monahan will announce next week that both Young and possibly Pearl Jam have been added to the festival's 2010 lineup.Timing for the late announcement is due to sagging tickets sales. Advance ticket and passport sales for many of the headline shows, such as opening night headliner Iron Maiden on July 6 are running less than half what the festival expected.And Monahan's indicated that he isn't done yet. Expect him to announce yet another blockbuster addition to the festival, which runs July 6-18, by June 1.The festival recently received a $1.9-million grant from the federal government's Marquee Tourism program. At the time, Monahan announced that the money would go towards increasing the size and scope of the festival's lineup of musical talent of its main site at LeBreton Flats, and its free Byward Market series July 8-13.http://www.ottawasun.com/entertainment/music/2010/05/21/14037501.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 That would be incredible if Neil & PJ were to play at the bluesfest!Unfortunately that article was written by Denis Armstrong, who is rarely correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but he seems pretty sure that Neil Young will play. He's probably wrong about Pearl Jam though, knowing him. I want STP to play again this year, but they're my favourite band so I'm biased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bungopony Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 He was also sure about U2 and Paul McCartney. Some of this might eventually stick, but I'll wait for some harder evidence before I'm excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 I dig your avatar bungopony - one of my faves.Why aren't they playing at the bluesfest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Habs Fan Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 This morning, Wendy Daniels on Virgin Radio said that the Neil Young rumour is 100% false. I guess Denis Armstrong strikes again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
