The Habs Fan Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 From what I can tell, there are lots of good bands on the side stages. The headliners aren't all that great (in general). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 ps. His formatting is a bit off, there are a few bands listed on the stage logo above each day which seem to be the headlines for the previous day Ie. Hip headlining on July 9 plus Shpongle, Death From Above 1979!, Big Sams Funky Nation etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Not Bob Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Mark Kozelek is one of my all time favorite musicians and when he played Blluesfest before he played an acoustic set and was getting drowned out by Big Jeezus Truck playing on another stage. Hopefully this time it will be in a bit more sympathetic setting, especially now that I am more familiar with his Sun Kil Moon material.

AD Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 webpage isn't supposed to be live until official announcement tomorrow. stupid, but that's the reason it's not working for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 That grid would be a hell of a lot of work to have done on the fly for our enjoyment.I think what we have is likely, but there are obvious holes and some days that are empty so lots more is going to be announced officially.Lynn Saxberg tweeted that there was no more funding for Bluesfest in The Byward. Not sure if that means its off, but it can't be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 don't know what you mean about the grid - guy obviously took it from the bluesfest website during a time when it was up. it wasn't supposed to be live and fully functional until the official announcement (tuesday) which is why it's not working for people tonight. i'm sure there will be many many many more spots filled tomorrow, along with a functional website.

flipzoso Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) Braids and M. Ward are the two I am most excited for.Others are Black Keys and DFA>Will check out of curiosity:Ed SharpeMy Morning JacketErykah (get her with The Roots and that would be primo!)Initial lineup is weak compared to previous years. (I should make it clear that I'm okay with the love being spread around Jazz and Folk fests too though). Edited April 27, 2011 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
