Even if you're not a fan, I don't see how them performing in Ottawa could be anything but good news for the city.
I, myself, am more of an indie music fan, but I welcome any concert announcements that raise the profile of the city as a live music venue.

They may be big, but Elton and Billy Joel just leave me cold....ditto for Nickelback and AC/DC...however, if they bring in tourism dollars and people want to go see them, good luck to them.
Still not sure where O'Brien fits into all of this.
