It's certainly got more bands, but I don't see how it's better yet. I'm assuming it will be though once those ????? are filled in.

Also, looks like Toronto kind of got the shaft compared to Chicago and Denver.

[FlamesAddiction]

Those Denver and Chicago line-ups are insane. The Toronto one is OK, but hopefully the final Toronto line-up can lure some of those other acts by the time they are all announced/ confirmed.

Anybody else from CP going to Tomorrowland in Belgium next month?

Not sure if this has been posted, but the summer festival in Quebec City is pretty good this year.

Pretty good mix with some odd additions like Boston and The Doobie Brothers.

Have to say that I'm bummed out that Patrick Watson canceled out of the folk fest.

Years past I would be so super excited but Watson canceling took the wind out of my sails as this isn't the strongest line up they've ever had. I guess that being said there still are a lot of artists I want to see.

Pemberton Festival crowd leaves picturesque valley covered in trash

Happy to say Sled did a really good Green job, recycling and reducing waste.

[East Coast Flame]

Tough to compare Sled Island with a camping festival like Pemberton.

Also, the walk from people's cars to the campsite where that picture was taken was over 2km and there weren't nearly enough garbage bins. It's definitely not an excuse, that picture is disgusting, but the Pemberton organizers share some of the blame.
