Fixed it for you, I only read NIN to be honest.

Decent lineup for Chasing Summer 2017.

Shambhala with another ho-hum Line-up:



Lots of fan favourites and a ton of talen, but sorely lacking any big names or fresh faces (NGHTMRE, BTSM & Pendulum are the only ones that stick out to me). Guess thats all you get when they sell out in under 24 hours and the dollar is weak. For contrast, here's their stacked line up from 2 years ago.

Spoiler!

I think this line up has more big names then the one you posted?

A-Track, Adventure Club, Chris Lake, Datsik, Illenium, NGHTMRE, Pendulum, Vanic and Slushii are all pretty big names in EDM.

I would kill to see IHF. O'well. I'm too old to go 3 days without bathing while raving in the woods and consider it a good time.

None of those guys are on the same level of popularity as Pretty Lights, Kygo and Skrillex. They are better off spreading the wealth then trying to get some ~$100k acts together, but I miss the days when the Sham line up would make me #### my pants.

Pretty hilarious watching Pemberton getting murdered on social media for their ridiculous delay in announcing their lineup.

Just got back from my first time at Coachella.

Although the lineup wasn't everything I had hoped, had an amazing time and was pleasantly surprised by most of the fans there.
Well behaved, respectful of each other and I didn't get the urge to punch a bunch of annoying kids as I feared may be the case.
Overall a great experience.

That festival is a disaster. My buds are trying to get me to go but unless the lineup is spectacular I'm probably just gonna stay home.

Yeah, I'm expecting the lineup to be hilariously bad. There are some really good smaller-sized festival in B.C. this summer if you guys are just looking for a festival to check out. Tall Tree in Port Renfrew and Kamp Festival in the Kootenays are two that are looking like they'll be pretty fun. I did Tall Tree last year and it was a blast. The lineups are mostly local, so nothing big name but the location/scenery is probably one of the best in North America. Plus, it's insanely cheap compared to other festivals. Even drinks are cheap. Beer and cider are $5 each, which is obviously more than drinking at home but way cheaper than most festivals.

It was great this year, just the weekend was too hot. 39 on Saturday was almost unbearable but at least in the VIP beer gardens there is plenty of shade and air conditioned bathrooms.

So real. I turned one if his original records into a wall clock.

This one, I think:

[FlamesAddiction]

I still can't believe that Osheaga line-up. It's awesome.

I am not sure if it has been posted, but the small Wolfe Island Festival just outside of Kingston is coming back this year.

Headliners include Alvvays, K-OS PUP, The Rural Alberta Advantage and Shad.

Pemberton not nearly as bad as I was expecting. The headliners are atrocious but everything else seems okay. I was going to stay home until I saw PUP was playing and now I'm 50/50... I love that band.
