Looking at the schedule for Drenched; Sloan and Gob play Friday, so they could play either day of Virgin; State of Shock and Hedley play Saturday, so they could play Sunday at Virgin; and Default and Finger Eleven play Sunday, so they could play Saturday at Virgin.

Having said that, I haven't checked the tour schedule of any of these bands, so they may not all be available.

Wintersleep has been added to the Saturday Lineup at Virgin Fest....

According to their facebook.

This makes me more likely to go.

Hell yes! That's awesome.

Wintersleep is awesome news.

jayswin · 08-01-2009, 12:44 AM

What kind of music does Wintersleep play?

I wish there was a campground type of deal for Vfest... Sasquatch has been sooooooo much fun the last 2 years, more the camping party than anything.

Wintersleep makes the lineup look so much better. Im pumped.

Sasquatch is cool, but it's no Bonnaroo.

I hate the fact the Venue has changed to COP, i liked it much better last year. Guess too many "bourgeois" complaining as per usual....(f*c i hate this city sometimes)

I have a feeling with houses all around COP, there will be even more complaining this year, and then by next summer the organizers are just going to say "screw it, this city's a pain in the ass, let's see what Edmonton has to offer". Then of course Edmonton will jump at the opportunity and be fully accomadating.

Does anyone have tickets or promotional codes for saturday? I saw before the tickets were $61 plus fees but today a single day ticket plus fees is an outrageous $98. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

It's Tuesday and there's still no official Wintersleep announcement, nor a lineup posted.

Would anyone be surprised if this got cancelled?

Knut · 08-04-2009, 10:39 AM

According to a friend in Vancouver they are pretty much giving tickets away there for the Calgary virgin fest.

Doesnt look good.

Moving it out to COP was a big mistake.

Cactus Jack · 08-04-2009, 01:14 PM

I have TWO (2) tickets available for SATURDAY ONLY Virginfest. They're $67 each. If you are interested, please PM me. I will take the first two people that can provide cash payment tomorrow or thusday when I give them the ticket. Once I get the 2 people confirming this via PM, I will let everyone know.

malcolmk14 · 08-04-2009, 01:53 PM

Static in the Stars, Constant Season and Joshua's Habit have been added, apparently.

malcolmk14 · 08-04-2009, 02:08 PM

Here's the schedule.

What I'm not happy about is I paid full price for a ticket, and now they've dropped the price by $40. Is Virgin going to reimburse me? Probably not. What a fataing stupid setup.

jayswin · 08-04-2009, 02:19 PM

Is it the second day that's faultering, or both? I would have imagined Pearljam would attract a pretty quick sellout.

I would be highly dissapointed.

Cactus Jack · 08-06-2009, 09:41 AM

Any takers for $67 for a ticket for saturday to see KOS and Pearl JAM? I only need one more person. I beats the $98 price you would pay ticketmaster. PM me if interested and can provide the money tomorrow (friday).

drew24 · 08-08-2009, 01:24 PM

Can I bring a backpack with water and sandwiches?
Nevermind... I just checked the site... and if anybody else is wondering... you can!
