   can we assume it is safe to take Bang and Echo festivals down for 09? Don’t really think there’s much chance of that shit going down….

   hey bman, what does that foo fighters crap have to do with the festival outlook page? they ain’t playing festivals???

9. Bman on Nov 4th, 2009 at 8:56 am

   CNN: So what is going on with the Foo Fighters right now?

   Grohl: I think the band decided to take a break not because we wanted to stop making music, but because we thought the world needed to take a break from us. This greatest hits record — that’s the end of something, you know. It’s time to move on into this next chapter or another phase. Maybe it will be different in whatever way. I don’t know.

   But to be honest, we put our hearts and a lot of thought into what we do, but never so much that anything feels overly calculated or choreographed. It’s nice to not know what’s going to happen next. We’re going over to do some shows in Europe (this week), but after that, it’s like I don’t even know when I’m going to see these guys. So it’s kind of weird.

    Alex, where are you hearing those rumblings? The main producer of the fest has moved to Athens and many of his friends are straight shooting it down…….

    I wouldn’t be surprised to see “Landerado”, but I will be surprised to see anywhere near South Florida.

    Is that something you are hearing? I’m intrigued so please do share…

    Please please please give me some hope brother…..

    Ghost - I would beg to differ on that assumption. But that’s just the rumor I’ve heard.

    1 weekend-1 venue-4 stages-40 acts

    Musicport 09 promises a wide range of international national and regional artists celebrating bringing 10 years of bringing the best in global music to the Yorkshire coast. This year’s eclectic line up mixes many artists who are new to the festival with some who have performed before. With the successful transition to its new venue undertaken last year this year Musicport 09 is set to be the biggest and best yet. The 10th anniversary will be a celebration of what has gone before as well as pointer towards what the future holds in store for its loyal audience that has grown year on year.

    This year’s line-up includes music, dance and spoken word traditions from countries as diverse as Tibet, New Zealand, Chile, India, Malawi, Jamaica, D R Congo, Sudan, Philippines, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Cape Verde, Bulgaria, Niger and Brazil as well as many excellent UK based artists.

    From the multi-talented Nitin Sawhney (at the forefront of the Asian Underground movement) to regular Radio 4 comedian/musician Mitch Benn,
    From the classic roots reggae of Misty in Roots and the to the gentle Maori music of Pacific Curls,
    From the lead singer of The Inspiral Carpets to the only living master of the traditional instrument of the fishermen of Lake Chad in Niger (Mamane Barka).
    From stunning Flamenco music & dance to arguably the best African jazz ensemble and the BBC Radio 3 World Music Award winners Justin Adams & Juldeh Camara
    From the top ambient DJ/producer Banco De Gaia to the haunting polyphonic singing of the Pirin mountains in Bulgaria (Bisserov Sisters)
    From the political folk harmonies of Chumbawamba to the amazing spectacle of Sufi music and whirling dervishes (Forever Haqqani)
    From the award-winning English musician Jim Moray to dub poet Jean Binta Breeze
    From Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalists (& Musicport regulars) The Urban Gypsies to the trance-inducing Sudanese acoustic dance music of Rango as well as a host of local musicians/performer

    The festival has 4 stages all in one gloriously restored Art Deco venue overlooking Bridlington’s extensive South Beach sands. With workshops, spoken word events, film, children’s events, festival market , DJ room and food court the festival offers an all weather alternative to the outdoor summer festivals and is many peoples chance to recapture and rekindle that festival spirit (and paddle in the sea) before the nights get too long.

    virginfest baltimore has a web site now it doesnt have any details but it says 2009 announcement soon

    What is happening with V fest Baltimore this year? I heard rumors of merriweather but that place is way too small. Pimlico was a sweet place for it but I haven’t heard anything about it so far.

62. Paul on May 22nd, 2009 at 2:19 pm

    “Anonymous” a few posts below noted Green Day, Wilco and Blur for V Fest Ontario. I have no idea what the source was for this, and these are all bands that have already been speculated anyway. I don’t know about Wilco, since they are in Ireland on August 28th, and V Fest is supposed to be August 29th and 30th. I think Green Day and Tragically Hip will headline, but we’ll see I guess. Blur would be nice but I won’t get my hopes up for that.

    Rogers Picnic, unfortunately, is not happening. The band Rock Plaza Central said on the Stille Post message board that they were supposed to play but that it was scrapped for this year.

    come on…anybody got rumors for Virgin Festival Ontario or Rogers Picnic in Toronto (if it’s even happening).

64. debaser on May 21st, 2009 at 3:12 pm

67. Warner on May 20th, 2009 at 6:44 pm

    Not sure if anyone else has posted it, but The Essence Music Festival is in New Orleans, LA July 3-5, 2009. It includes artists such as Maxwell, John Legend, Raphael Saadiq, Solange, The Knux, Al Green, Eric Benet, Zap Mama, and many more. Definitely worth a spot in the festival list. Thanks

    Blink 182 confirms US Tour w/ Weezer & Fall Out Boy

    I’m trying to keep faith in V Fest. 06 and 07 both had really solid lineups, although last year was a bit off. And based on the lineups of Montreal and Halifax they’re trying to cater heavily to what (they think) the markets there want. Seeing how they have always tried to make Toronto’s more of an indie festival, I think they will still try and cater to those tastes ,especially with the state other Toronto indie fests (I seriously doubt Rogers Picnic is happening now).

73. Paul on May 13th, 2009 at 3:26 pm

    Yeah, I’m going to go head down to the Harbourfront show too. I’ll have to try to get there really early.

    Toronto’s festival season is not shaping up too well. Where is the Rogers Picnic announcement!? I have no faith in V Fest, so I’m counting on Rogers Picnic to at least provide something decent.

74. Adam on May 13th, 2009 at 3:19 pm

    Yeah, it might not have been such a good idea to have a fest this small on the island, considering the increased cost of getting everybody/everything there. I might still try and make it down for their Harbourfront show, even if the view will be shit. I’m planning on going to the Holy Fuck/DDMMYYYY show the day before.

75. Paul on May 13th, 2009 at 3:13 pm

    Definitely. Harbourfront is a decent enough venue, but it is way too small for this. I’ve seen the Hidden Cameras there a few times and it’s even too small for them! I guess this show didn’t sell well. It’s too bad. I guess they should have tried to get one more bigger name on the bill, like they did with Modest Mouse and Bloc Party in prior years.

76. Adam on May 13th, 2009 at 3:09 pm

    Wow, that really sucks. Its going to be impossible to see them at Harbourfront Centre too. The place was WAY too small for even Crystal Castles when I saw them there last year.

77. Paul on May 13th, 2009 at 3:05 pm

    It’s on the Arts & Crafts website (arts-crafts.ca). Broken Social Scene will instead play a free show at Harbourfront Centre on the same day. This sucks, I was looking forward to a show on the Island, and Harbourfront centre will be insane for a free BSS show.

78. Adam on May 13th, 2009 at 2:58 pm

    Paul where did you find that info? I cant find anything about it.

79. Paul on May 13th, 2009 at 2:51 pm

    Olympic Island Festival in Toronto has been canceled.
