Foo Fighters put on an awesome show last time they were here.

ExcaliburKid · #**102** Posted **Apr 9, 2008, 10:30 PM**

Lol at some of you guys for thinking Calgary got unfairly stereotyped. I think a visit to http://www.welcometohowedmontonfeelssince1983.com should be in order.
All joking aside, you guys should be happy you've got this, plus Warped Tour. Thats one I wish we had up north. *sigh*

Calgarian · #**103** Posted **Apr 9, 2008, 10:50 PM**

They should hold some of these festivals in Red Deer. lol

DizzyEdge · #**104** Posted **Apr 9, 2008, 11:15 PM**

sure once we get that high speed railway built

Ayreonaut · #**105** Posted **Apr 9, 2008, 11:40 PM**

I guess the only mainstream acts I would like to see are Live, and...umm, is Porcupine Tree mainstream? One of their songs comes on Xbox 360s (Shallow), though it's quite different from most of their stuff.

I have some buddies going to bonnaroo this summer. That line up looks awesome. Mastodon would be great to see.

wild wild west · #**115** Posted **Apr 17, 2008, 5:00 PM**

If any of your tastes happen to run towards heavy metal, Monsters of Rock in July at McMahon will have Ozzy and Priest among others.

I heard a rumour that Metallica might be at that show.

Bigtime · #**118** Posted **Apr 17, 2008, 8:15 PM**

I can't wait for the noise complaints that this show is gonna generate!

I can just picture the meeting:

: "Let's have a rock concert, but it is outdoors in Calgary so we better ease into it with something tame."

: "How about Ozzy?"

: "Book it!"

I think I read Metallica is playing Ozzfest - not Monsters of Rock unfortunately.

niwell · #**120** Posted **Apr 17, 2008, 11:17 PM**

Wow, I thought Toronto got kinda screwed this year with V-fest, but apparently not. The headliners for Calgary are simply absurd. Not to mention the advertising scheme... geez.

On the other hand, Pemberton looks pretty amazing!
