Also can't do outdoor concerts at McMahon for the most part because of the noise bylaws. This city is seriously lacking in the major music concert scene. I don't expect Nenshi to shed any tears over this but it is what it is.
Sled Island, The Folk Festival, Afrikadey, Reggae Fest - that is what makes Calgary "world class", not a tour stop from a big commercial act.
