I think that Josie meant she and Gord watched Arcade Fire, not that Gord performed with Arcade Fire.

It is 22 & 23 :thumb:
want to be a nobody without peer
want to be a thought that's never done
want to shake your faith in human nature
want to break the hearts of everyone
want to be your wheezing screen door
want to be your stars of Algonquin
want to be your roaring floorboard
want to break the hearts of everyone

Did anyone opt for the dinner and\or wine packages last year? If so, was it worth it?

My wife and I just happened to be in Ontario last year when GD was at Jackson Triggs and some family gave us tickets. The show was amazing - though it's not listed as GD and TCOM...just GD. Is the band playing with him? The show was amazing. I would've passed on the food personally, but the tix were gifts so I partook. Great venue. Really fun being outside in the lawn chairs - and it's still stadium seating so there's not a bad seat in the house. Would go back in a second.

July 22nd in Niagara -- Gord solo stuff in the middle of a Hip summer tour!
Cool beans!
I hope the trackers get it captured, despite Gord's want for things to
"disappear as they happen"...

My wife and I are going Friday, July 22nd. I received an event reminder e-mail from Jackson Triggs Winery where the concert will take place. It stated the show on July 23rd is sold out and limited tickets were available for the 22nd.
I saw a photo of this small outdoor amphitheater. It looks like the capacity would be around 300-400 people. Does anyone who has attended a show here before know the actual capacity? It should be an interesting show. I think Gord is performing by himself.

The venue is really, really cool. Everyone who goes will like it. The audience last year was pretty subdued until part way into the second set. Chancellor was started and it must have clicked. More standing and dancing after that - there was even a group that formed at the front for the encore. It was a good night.
