There are a few bands that I would like to see, but they all play on different nights. I'll probably go to Weezer, GBS, and Alexisonfire

It's worth noting that July 14th and 15th both only really have one headline-worthy band. Could this be a perfect spot for U2 or Lady Gaga?? Let's hope it's U2 as I wouldn't want to hear Gaga's ridiculous music echoing here in Centretown. Lots of rumours online about U2 as they are in Philadelphia on July 12th and Montreal on July 16th with no gigs in between.

Killer opening night last night at Bluesfest. Dream Theater and Iron Maiden were epic as always, thrilling a crowd estimated at 30,000 (peak).

Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater drummer, main man) has posted this neat pic on his twitter feed, along with a nice comment:

I seriously hope Dream Theater returns for a longer set, or even better, their own show some day.

It would be nice as well to have Derek Sherinian, their former guitarist, drop by for a show of his own with some of his own stuff.

YOWflier · #86 Posted **Jul 9, 2010, 6:48 PM**

I believe you mean keyboardist, and Derek is certainly a fine one at that.

waterloowarrior · #87 Posted **Jul 13, 2010, 8:34 PM**

Metric was great on Saturday.. here's my blurry cameraphone pic

The Flaming Lips definitely put on an interesting show (pic from the Sun)

Now that the tedious Bieberfever is past, let's put another update - yeah I couldn't wait to erase his entry here. Nothing really big although instrumental music fans might look at the December 22 gig.

September 3: April Wine - Shawville Fair
September 3: Hedley & Our Lady Peace - Parc La Baie
September 4: Kim Mitchell - Perth Fair
September 9: Katie Melua - Bronson Center
September 18: Down With Webster - Capital Music Hall
October 5: Jason Mraz - Scotiabank Place
October 15: Crash Test Dummies - First Baptist Church
October 17: Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) - Scotiabank Place
November 16: The Trews - Capital Music Hall
November 21: B.B King - National Arts Center
December 22: Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Scotiabank Place

By the way - I haven't put any Super Ex entry this year as there are no big names at all - closest might be rapper Classified (last night) but still far from making the notable gigs list.

Cre47 · #89 Posted **Sep 9, 2010, 11:02 PM**

Roger Waters is big enough. I'll probably catch that one. He's doing The Wall in its entirety. Well worth it since I'm not old enough to have caught Floyd live when they toured the original.

Cre47 · #91 Posted **Sep 24, 2010, 5:07 PM**

Aside from Ozzy, the latest notable additions are mostly Canadian acts. Nothing too big but they've add the dates (but not the acts) for next Bluesfest.

September 25: Kim Mitchell - Civic Centre
October 2: Diana Krall - National Arts Centre
October 5: Jason Mraz - Scotiabank Place
October 15: Crash Test Dummies - First Baptist Church
October 17: Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) - Scotiabank Place
October 26: Roch Voisine - Centerpointe Theater
November 11: Bedouin Soundclash - Capital Music Hall
November 16: The Trews - Capital Music Hall
November 21: B.B King - National Arts Center
November 25: Ozzy Osbourne - Scotiabank Place
December 2: Great Big Sea - Civic Center
December 22: Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Scotiabank Place
July 6-July 17 - Bluesfest

Also CTV News aired a piece about a videoclip with some pretty smart dogs performing. And I've find out, this Chicago-based group called OK GO is coming on October 15 at Capital Music Hall.

Anyways here's the video

Not that all of us here at SSP are really excited about this.

Backstreet, NKOTB heading to Ottawa

By SCOTT TAYLOR, Ottawa Sun

Last Updated: January 26, 2011 7:02pm

Everybody, Backstreet’s back. And they’re bringing NKOTB with them.

According to the groups’ NKOTBBSB website, the boy bands have added Ottawa to the list of stops on their world tour.

“The unstoppable phenomenon that is the NKOTBSB will add a slew of new dates to their tour including ... Ottawa,” the website promises.

The date hasn’t been divulged yet, but both their joint and respective websites list tour dates through July, so it would seem an August landing is the most likely scenario. However, the boys play Montreal June 7 and Toronto June 8-9 with no dates scheduled for June 6 and June 10, so it’s possible they’ll sneak a show in on one of those two nights.

Their tour will be highlighted by a June 11 show at Boston’s Fenway Park. According to the website, they’ll join only Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Diamond, Jimmy Buffett, Dave Matthews Band, Phish and Aerosmith to have performed on the field of Red Sox’ dreams.

Capital Tickets refused to confirm or deny the news.

Cre47 · #95 Posted **Jan 27, 2011, 7:05 PM**

Also I've checked the U2 pollstar page and it shows this list during the Bluesfest period so maybe some of you guys might hope once again for this edition. If I recalled, they had canned most of last summer's dates including the Toronto and Montreal gigs because of Bono's injury.

Sat 07/02/11 Nashville, TN Vanderbilt Stadium

Tue 07/05/11 Chicago, IL Soldier Field

Fri 07/08/11 Montreal, QC Hippodrome De Montreal

Sat 07/09/11 Montreal, QC Hippodrome De Montreal

Mon 07/11/11 Toronto, ON Rogers Centre

Thu 07/14/11 Philadelphia, PA Lincoln Financial Field

Sun 07/17/11 St. Louis, MO Busch Stadium

Cre47 · #96 Posted **Jan 28, 2011, 5:49 PM**

This was quite a quick sell out. They've added more tickets for this one but it might only take 15 minutes or so before they get snatch as well.

600 tickets added to Katy Perry concert

Ottawa Citizen January 28, 2011 12:45 PM

ugh, no thanks. I think it's amazing how great they make her look on TV/Magazines etc. as this is what she looks like normally:

Now, if there was any chance we might get to see her rack, then I would be front row centre ----->>

Almost as fast as the Charley Pride show.. oh wait, I think there may be some seats available.
