Osheaga is the premiere festival in Canada, taking place at Parc Jean Drapeau in Montreal over the first weekend in August. It's expanded up to 6-7 stages now including two gigantic side by side ones and an assortment of side stages in the woods and parkland. It's quite successful, having sold out the past two years, mainly because they are leaning towards major pop acts/EDM and the fact there's really no competing festival in Toronto. Tickets are likely $225 for a 3 day pass or $90 each day. Lineup will closely mirror Lollapalooza because a lot of bands will go from one fest to the other.

This is gonna own really really hard: Also Drake announced Outkast will headline OVO Fest, which makes it about 99% likely they will be at Osheaga as well. Word is Spiritualized and possibly Nick Cave on the Osheaga lineup too. Edit: forgot to add TURF  Bliggers- fucked around with this message at 02:05 on Feb 19, 2014 |

Wasn't there some 2 day festival at the Citadel the last few years around July? Summersonic or something? Plus there have been some serious bands playing the public gardens; Macca, KISS, etc Anyways you should definitely go to this: http://sappyfest.com/news/

thrawn527 posted:They were still spraying it last year, too. I've gone in '11, '12, and '13, and "gently caress Kanye" was everywhere each year. It's a part of Bonnaroo culture at this point. The Bonnaroo Facebook page is exploding with rage. I'm starting to think "Bonnaroovians" are assholes. OH NO KAYNE BOOOOO

Sphinx posted:So many music festivals to go to, so little money Only the last two years actually sold out, and not until way closer to the festival, like a week beforehand. There's no way they sell out before Single Day passes go on sale and that won't be for another month at least. They will announce the rest of the lineup then too.

TURF lineup has finalized, some great additions including Beirut and Jeff Tweedy. I bought an early bird VIP pass.

Forgot to add this earlier, Bluesfest is well known for eclectic daily lineups. Gonna see Foreigner and Styx open for QOTSA.

Saw the Replacements at Riot Fest in Toronto last fall. I'm not a big fan at all but I enjoyed it. the folks I went with have been waiting years and years and knew every lyric of every song. They were all suitably impressed. Josh Freese was drumming and he elevates any band he is in.

They just added The Cure to the Toronto lineup too. That Chicago lineup is nuts. $99 early bird weekend passes can't be beat either

Riot Fest Toronto owns hard except security was the most intense I've seen in 10 years. Got patted down three times and backpack ripped apart,
