I have never heard of the "Canadian Music Festival", but given the timeline, I'm assuming this is a new name for Canadian Music Week.

The banner on their site is hilarious[ly bad]. Platinum Blonde, Slash and Dave Stewart? Yikes. Platinum Blonde I understand, just because one of their members owns arguably the best venue in the city, but the rest? Eep. I'm not sure they know what their demographic is at this point.

"Irish math-rockers"

Part made me lol really loudly.

That was the only part that peaked my interest, I must see Adebisi Shank live.

lol at the lineup...Marcy Playground is playing!

It'd be kind of fun, in a 90's kinda way, to see em play sex and candy.

any other canadians on here? Im in waterloo/kithener. I might check this out to see RJD2

bah I was hoping for more big canadian names.

I think K-OS, POS and Constantines are enough to make me check it out.

the only ones worth seeing are the ones you had in your post.

mainly Adebisi Shank.

"I'll have you know Irish people are excellent at arithmetic. "

More like arithmprick........oh dear, the more I age the worse my puns get.

yea, adebisi shank is only one i would even care to see

700 acts!?!?!

It takes place throughout the entire city for about a week. It's similar to NXNE and SXSW.

^^ but less exciting from what i can see

I'm not going if Nickleback isn't going. Nickleback wrote Canada's national anthem.

I'd go to see POS and that's it.

POS and Adebisi Shank make this a win.

aw darn, no cryptopsy, protest the hero, or despised icon?

The Bats Pajamas is an awesome band name
