That Glastonbury lineup is beyond ridiculous. So jealous that they're getting Portishead, I've been crossing my fingers for years that they'd be at Sasquatch and get disappointed every time. I saw the post about this on Facebook and selfishly hope it isn't at the Gorge, only because there's no way I could get away with going out there twice a year. I don't think there's any venue on this side of the mountains that could accommodate a festival like that though. *edit* I just saw the list of cities that the festival is coming to, and the closest one is in California. They could still extend the festival farther into August and come to the Gorge, but it's at least not on the initial list.

New electronic festival in Calgary during Stampede up at COP. badlandsmusicfest.com/tickets/Lineup is pretty much the same group of artists that play every electronic festival in North America. Holy moly, passes start at $180! Getting to and from COP is a nightmare on transit as well. Can't see myself making this.

There is literally nothing special about music festivals anymore. It seems like every city on earth has one now, and many of them host multiple per year.

I agree, this festival shit is getting out of control. TOO MANY DICKS ON THE DANCEFLOOR.

They were at Ultra too, which seemed equally as weird.

Hmmmm do you think they'll set up a shuttle or something to/from COP?

Hmmmm do you think they'll set up a shuttle or something to/from COP? They did that when they did Virgin Fest up there a few years back. Had a bunch of school buses going back and forth from Crowfoot station.

Hmmm thats not so bad then.
Still not interested, though. I can handle an EDM show here and there, but a whole weekend of it would require too much drugs. Plus you can always get cheap concerts during stampede at the tents, flames central, etc.

Maybe if they do single day passes I might check it out. Not really interested in going the whole weekend though.

Full Calgary Folk Music Festival line-up announced: www.calgaryfolkfest.com/artists/I'm trying to switch to a volunteer crew that works before and after the fest instead of during.

Whoa, Thievery Corp? That seems like a depature for Folk Fest. Sweet lineup though. Well, except for Creedence Clearwater Revisited being a headliner.

As lame as CCRevisited is as a headliner of anything, they really are a lot of fun if you're a fan of the old band. Don't think I would ever pay to see them though. I've seen them twice for free and it was worth every penny

Don't forget about Todd Terje, who made a song that James Murphy played last year at Sasquatch that I still listen to on a weekly basis. Everyone who was at James Murphy will remember this, if you don't already know it.

You forgot to mention that Kraftwerk is in 3D. KRAFTWERK IN 3D.
