Robbie Fulks is also playing, but I cant seem to find what day. Will definitely check him out, very good guitar player and lyricist. Jose Gonzalez is Swedish and helped make The Knife famous.
It seems like the festival bubble is finally bursting. After a run that left music fans dizzy with options every weekend of the summer, organizers are starting to pull out of the game at alarming (if inevitable) rate. Squamish and Wolfe Island are both taking a year off, and even emo tween tradition Warped Tour decided to skip its Canadian stops this year. Now, Riot Fest has announced that it will not be coming to Toronto in 2016, either.

Yep, definitely saw that one coming. People were mentioning a weak Pemberton line up and I was thinking "I'll take a wicked Pearl Jam show with a few other fun bands over what most festival line-ups will be announcing this summer in Canada: 'We're taking this year off unfortunately, we really hope to see you again, summer 2017!!!'".
