zero Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Does the U2 rumour jibe with the Moncton date routing wise? I wonder if Michael Cohl and Monahan know each other or if Cohl would accept U2 playing any festival other than their own (he's known for both revolutionizing the concert industry and figuring out how to squeeze every ounce of ancillary revenue out of a show - Bluesfest doesn't seem like a match to the mentality).I feel like beyond the tangible rumours the skies pretty much the limit. I'm thinking more from the perspective not of routed tours but programming choices relevant to the last year. Not sure who immediately comes to mind... I bet Young Empires gets a booking at Black Sheep... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeker Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Moncton is irrelevant. U2 will be in TO and MTL in early July making the routing entirely possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Does routing even matter for U2? They'll probably be based out of NYC for all these shows anyways. Their trucks can get to all the dates no problem.Having said that, I really don't think U2 will be playing Bluesfest. But that's probably what Monahan wants everyone to think right now.Oh and if that's the case, prepare to pay through the nose this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 The Black Sheep wasn't all comedy last year- I saw one of the best shows of the festival when Mohawk Lodge performed early on Saturday (the 17th?).Thanks zero! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I saw a great band at the Blacksheep Tent too. But it was ridiculous because it was a beautiful summer night and we were sitting under an air conditioned tent. I hope they find some way to address this.

AD Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Yeah, I saw a few songs from a few bands in that tent but I left because the venue sucked shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killatokes Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 totally different bluesfest, but definitely a good rumour surrounding this one:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kitchener-Blues-Festival/89091900908kitchener bluesfest has already announced:Johnny WinterEdgar WinterJohn MayallBob MargolinPat Traverssadly Pinetop Perkins passed away recently..and many more, ALL for free!now on to the BIG rumor! it has been repeatedly making the grapevine that KBF is in negotiations for...wait for it....Greg Allman! so stoked if it's true! official final lineup announcement on April 1. the Greg Allman show will probably be for the special Thursday night gig in Victoria Park that i believe will be a seperately ticketed event but still part of the fun that is Kitchener Bluesfest. keep the weekend free, i think Bob at Shakedown has got some competition for his bash this year;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Kitchener Bluesfest announced Pinetop Perkins died? Isn't that common knowledge? Huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianphan Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 My guess is that the tent will be back strictly as a comedy venue with a separate ticket every night. U2 will never play Bluesfest, the logistics are impossible.I'll add the following just because they are on tour and in Toronto around the time of Bluesfest. No rumor, just an educated guess.Diana KrallBen HarperThe Black KeysGirl TalkRise Against A Perfect Circle The Weakerthans Tokyo Police Club The Arkells The Reason Dinosaur Bones HolleradoMy Morning JacketJimmy BuffetKenny ChesneyJohnny Winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
