In the spirit of… strangely unusual festival line ups… this year, the Virgin Festival has added a few more bands to the roster for the July 25th and 26th shows taking place in Dear Lake Park near Vancouver.

The Roots, and Broken Social Scene have been added to the bill for Saturday, and Sunday’s show is seeing the addition of Metric and Canadian Idol contestant Carly Rae Jepsen. They’ll be taking the stage alongside festival big-shots Our Lady Peace, Ben Harper & Relentless7, and Sonic Youth.

It’s a bit of an eclectic schedule, no doubt, but it’s loads better than V-Fest Montreal’s pick to get the New Kids on the Block to headline…

More details, and tickets if you think this fest is worth $135 for a weekend pass, are available at the V-Fest Website. Still no word on details about those Ontario and Alberta shows…
