Be sure to catch Kathleens set. She is very good.

What he said.
cool openers...just outta curiosity/ignorance: do we know if this show will be of the "evening with" format, or just a regular outdoor hip setlist? Hoping for evening with, since I bought tix for this before the kitchener shows were announced.

Evening With... complete with two sets and all!
Im definitly asking for Rock the Park tix for my bday..
Did anyone get any other days? I think the Doobie brothers would be cool, and ive seen the CCR revisted band and they were pretty good.. from what I can remember lol what a messy concert.

how do you know for sure?
Upon further review...
I have pulled a boner and I am not sure.
In my stupor, i thought he was talking about the Kitchener show... and forgot that this was a thread aboot the London show.
I would assume (and I hope Im wrong) that an outdoor show with 3 openers would not be an "evening with" concert. Im pretty sure it will be a standard set, thats half the reason I didnt buy tickets. Your better off with Kitchener, it will definitely be an EW show.

Of course unless you really enjoy outdoor shows, but hey why not double your pleasure and go to both? I like the EW shows they were amazing so its too hard to miss those, Im still not sure what Im doing anymore..lol. Im thinking Kitchener, I have an open invitation and a free place to stay for the NY show and of course London is my current home, so the park is an easy option. But I dont feel like standing in a crammed park with a bunch of obnoxious drunks.
The Spades are a terrific live band as well. I wouldn't miss them. I bet Sinclair joins them for a song or two as well (he produces them).
I wouldn't miss the Arkells either, those guys also kick ass live...
Anyone know of a good place to stay near Harris Park?
