VFest Toronto: Day 2

September 1st, 2009

I guess if you could sum up day 2, it would go down as the day that was too freezing to be August. And also again: where was the crowd? And also also: kind of an improvement over day 1. Wellll, here’s the thing. Move Grizzly Bear and Franz Ferdinand to day 2, and we’ve [...]

VFest Toronto: Day 1

September 1st, 2009

If you’re a VFest fan/follower/loyal participant/lover, then you know the story by now: Ontario’s festival was to be moved from Toronto Island to Burl’s Creek, where camping and hippie-like festivities were to take place. Unfortunately, due to low ticket sales and a general lack of enthusiasm, the organizer’s decided to move el festival-o back to [...]

VFest Ontario Moved To Humane Location!

August 13th, 2009

THIS JUST IN: VFest Ontario will no longer take place at Burl’s Creek, which would have required many festival-goers to camp out and find methods of travel (I had settled on hover boots). Instead, the two day concert will go down at Molson Amphitheatre, which makes me verrrrrry happy. It’s no Toronto Island, but as [...]

Virgin Festival Ontario: Lineup

July 14th, 2009

Weeks and weeks and weeks of waiting, and it turns out that the Nine Inch Nails leak is probably the highlight of Ontario’s V-Fest. A partial lineup was announced this morning and there are some gems for sure – Grizzly Bear, The Pixies, Franz Ferdinand, N.E.R.D. (for me!!!!) – otherwise we’re feeling kinda lukewarm about [...]

VFest Ontario Acts Leaked?

July 8th, 2009

By this time last year we all knew that Foo Fighters and Oasis would be headlining VFest and just waiting on smaller acts to be announced. This year however, it’s totally different. The date and venue haven’t even been announced and that’s kind of a bummer because I’ve enjoyed the past four VFests. There have [...]

Virgin Festival Halifax: Lineup Announced

May 12th, 2009

Schizophrenia!!! That’s how I would describe this year’s Virgin Festival so far – at least when it comes to Montreal vs Halifax. Hali’s lineup was just announced, and it’s a complete 180 from Montreal’s. Whereas Quebec will see acts like Black Eyed Peas, Akon and NKOTB, Nova Scotia will get: The Tragically Hip The Offspring [...]
