still more to be announced for the Toronto line up though!
DJ stage should be bigger and better this year as well. Last year it was only decided to add it 2 weeks prior to the event. this week they've plenty of time. I've already been given the heads up on a few names... however, since I may be involved again this year, I've got to keep my mouth shut for the time being

this event i dont like. this is some typical northamerican event where they stuff as many artists together to get way to many people who dont even care about all the music playing there.
its some cheap attempt by virgin to get thier name associated with music and what is popular with young people.
this doesnt seem like a dance festival too djs play EDM for dancing not some "listening" festival.
i dunno the whole idea of the event is odd seems too commercial for dance music, yet i dont know how thats possible for here in north america where is not popular like in europe.

pessimism defined, unclear problem with a better than average lineup that is spread out amongst decent bands over different genres.
complain somemore and we'll be lucky if the Barenaked ladies do shows at Nathan Phillips Square in the future.

Btw...it's not a North American event. Virgin has been doing this festival for years in the UK..I'm waiting for Rach to jump all over this
And another btw...the festival is a riot. Last year the line up was not that great and we still had an amazing time. This year will be fabulous!!!!!

I would probably go see The Police, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Besstie Boys, 311, Incubus, and the Wu Tang Clan before I saw any of the EDM acts on that bill. In terms of rock bands, this festival is incredible. Festivals are where it's at to see rock bands.
hmmmmmmmmmmmm......
