Here's the latest on the "free show" with the Stones set for Toronto. Just heard it on Q107, take it for what its worth. The show is still planned for the end of July/early August. It will be held at Downsview Park instead of the waterfront. I think Downsview park is where the Pope had his mass when he was in Toronto. There will be approximately 16 Canadian supporting acts, with the Stones headlining. There will be a $20.00 entrance fee, so the show is no longer "Free", but $20.00 for the Stones + other acts is a no-brainer. There will be a mile long BBQ supporting Canadian beef, and a special "bleecher section" for Health care workers who will be honoured during the show. 16 Canadian acts???? Can't imagine the Hip not being involved in this one. Probably the same set of performers as the Skydome/ACC shows. Again, this is all speculation right now....more to come
