Not only can you walk around with beer at Osheaga in Montreal, they have beer vendors who walk around the crowd in the pit........ wait a minute, Quebec doesn't count as Canada.

True, I have even been to Osheaga and I forgot that. The liquor laws are so different in Quebec. Damn how I miss those beer guys roaming the crowd between shows. The cute Jager shot girls were also pretty cool.

These guys just announced dates for the this year and they are going the full 9 yards this year and making it a 3 day festival. Aug 24, 25 and 26. My poor, poor liver.

Oh I really hope I can make it work this year. I also want to check out Rifflandia if possible.

Any word if they are expanding camping or not?

No word on the camping, but if you are on the ball it shouldnt be hard to get a spot. I might ask on the facebutt, they are great at answering questions on there.

I really want to go to this this year! About what time did tickets go on sale last year?

Posted by davers on Feb 2, 2012, 12:34pm

Not sure exactly, but my friend was in Australia at the time so I will say around April. They anounced the headliners and subs and then tickets were $109, going up to $149 or something closer to the festival. That was only 2 days though, so expect it to be around $159 for earlybird this year.

As for the camping, I asked on facebook and they said they were working on it and would have an update in a few weeks.

Lineup release party for this is April 4th at the Commodore Ballroom. Current Swell and The Matinee are playing the show. Tickets are 10 bucks but you get $20 off tickets to Live at Squamish. There is a presale code but I have yet to Dr. Garbanzoure it out. It probably won't matter much anyway because I doubt an event that had 10K attendees per day will sell out a 1000 person venue for the lineup release, but who knows. I'll post the presale code here if I get it.

I saw that. Wish I could go, I absolutely love current swell.

Posted by davers on Mar 27, 2012, 5:59pm

Apparently the password is Squamish.

They thought really hard about that one.

Posted by LumpSquatch on Mar 28, 2012, 1:30pm

Wow. That's even worse than the password "Doolittle" for the presale for the Pixies' Doolittle tour tickets.

Pretty underwhelming lineup. http://liveatsquamish.com/lineup

Tragically Hip, City and Colour (his popularity continues to astound me), Chromeo, Sheepdogs, Mother Mother, Lights, Wintersleep, The RAA, Beats Antique, Airborn Toxic Event.

Early tickets are only $129 which is pretty solid for a 3 day festival. I'll still be there, but I was hoping for more.

I might end up going. I plan on doing a camping road trip with a friend this summer and this would be a good final destination

Plus I love current swell live.

Posted by weenie on Apr 5, 2012, 3:24pm

Ew, Tragically Hip. Eh, there's a couple bands on there I would like to see but I don't know if I'm going to go. It's pretty pricey once you factor in camping and I'm probably still going to be paying off Osheaga at that point.
