So does this put an end to all the AC/DC rumors, at least for this year? Or will they have a rock festival as well?
For those who haven't already heard, on Saturday August 19th, there is a huge ass country concert at the Magnetic Hill Concert Site in Moncton. Sugarland, George Canynon, Brooks & Dunn, and Alan Jackson, with more possibly to be announced. Not really a country fan myself, i was disappointed when i first heard this on the radio, as i was hoping for more of the same from last year (Rolling Stones/Tragically Hip/Our Lady Peace/etc.), maybe something along the lines of AC/DC, Black Crowes and such. One of the few country acts i like though are Brooks & Dunn and i've always wanted to see them live, so i might go over. I think it'd be kinda cool to see Alan Jackson live as well.

There could probably still be a concert Labour Day Weekend, and it could possibly be a bit bigger than Alan Jackson (I hope)... oh well, hopefully my summer concert w/ The Hip in Charlottetown dream comes true!

I just read the article from CBC, and it at the very end it mentions
'Rock fans are hoping for their own concert at the site this year, and Fowler says promotors are still talking to several big names, but a second show isn't a sure thing.'

Kickin'! Its sure as hell going to be hard to top last year, but I mean, I would definetly go, even it wasn't a band with the same hugeness as The Stones. I would go to see Tom Petty or some other kickin band, even if it was a smaller concert.

I think you can throw Bryan Adams into those group of artists too, his live shows are always incredible. And part of what makes the BA experience so damn good is his band, Keith Scott is one of the best guitar players there is. Mickey Currey is one hell of a drummer as well.
