That looks more like Warped Tour than Edgefest...maybe not the greatest lineup for Hip fans, but this show is gonna be huge and I applaude the organizers who booked it.
I say throw in Sam Roberts, the Constantines, the Weakerthans, Pilate, and Broken Social Scene for some extra star power, and then you've got a show. Otherwise it's just an exclusive gig for the kiddies. The Edgefests of yore were always aimed at a wider audience, and I think they need to do the same with the latest edition. Try to get a little something in there for everybody.
I agree though, with that lineup it's still gonna sell a ton of tickets. The kids are gonna love it.
