Arguable, but yeah, this is the better lineup - might even make the trip down.

Wonder how Vancouver will fare?

I thought Face To Face broke up a couple yrs ago.

Great news indeed! I was wondering if I'd get to see them this summer.

That's a killer lineup indeed. Who are The Whitsundays? Are they Australian? Are they named after the islands?

awesome lineup, wish I was there.

Damn. The Hip and The Flaming Lips are on separate days. Now I'm gonna have to get the weekend pass rather than single day only.

I wonder if Gord Downie will be performing with City And Colour?
Or Gord Sinclair with the Spades?

Finally, FINALLY, living in Calgary pays off!

(edited to say: despite what my profile says, I'm actually living in Calgary right now. Also, that's the best V-Fest lineup I've seen which hasn't included the Who...and it's within walking distance of my apartment!)

This is awesome news. Anyone know when tix go on sale??
