Couple updates to the previous post, and a suggestion to keep your links tuned to Consequence of Sound’s Festival Outlook page and LastFM’s Bluesfest page, which both seem to be updated frequently with the latest speculation:
- Crowded House – 80s indie nostalgia!
- Metric – wouldn’t be a big stretch
- Rush – the requisite classic rock
- Black-Eyed Peas – playing Sarnia Bayfest in the days post-Bluesfest
- Arcade Fire – same as above
- Sam Roberts – same as above
- Scorpions – same as above
- Weezer – same as above
- Jack Johnson – playing Toronto in July
- G Love and Special Sauce – opening for Jack Johnson
Oh, and this isn’t a Bluesfest rumour, but it’s pretty cool anyway: Sloan is playing Westfest on June12…
Jazzfest also has some good stuff: Medeski, Martin & Wood on June 28, Owen Pallett and Elliott Brood on Canada Day, and Souljazz Orchestra on July 2…
