I believe the festival's facebook page said they are still working on confirming the openers.

Got my tickets today. More expensive than U2 / Arcade Fire in Moncton.
Always worth it for me :thumb:

Anybody else going? I'm expecting it to be less crowded than years past (2006, 2008), simply due to the lack of other strong acts this weekend.

Also read on facebook that we will know who the opener is tomorrow (Tuesday 21st) by "3:16" pm.

Day before the show... anybody going? Or am I going to be the only one :P ?
I can fire off a text to someone if they play anything rare-ish. (And I guess 'Springtime In Vienna' is rare these days).

I'm still undecided...but i think i'll probably end up passing. I just saw them last night in Moncton, and have spent enough money on concert tickets already this summer (Hip, Brad Paisley, Metallica, U2).

Tim Chaisson is a talented east coaster (can fiddle, play guitar and has a great voice)...I wouldn't miss him if I was attending

Ya you might hear some songs you like...hit songs now you wouldn't want that now would you... :roll:
want to be a nobody without peer
want to be a thought that's never done
want to shake your faith in human nature
want to break the hearts of everyone
want to be your wheezing screen door
want to be your stars of Algonquin
want to be your roaring floorboard
want to break the hearts of everyone

Lighten up Francis! You have had a hard on against the boys for years now. It's getting stale.

We may bitch about the set list and what not but we all understand it's the summer circuit. Yes, it's a set list for drunk squares. Big deal. Pass them a joint, tell them chill out and get your Hip on.

I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

one day you'll be an old run down fart and will be pining for them to get back together to play even a couple of songs
