Really strong undercard here: Converge, Ignite, Lucero, PUP, Basement, A Wilhelm Scream, the Living End, Frenzal Rhomb, Teenage Bottlerocket, Masked Intruder But I think it's still a pass for me. But for anyone who hasn't seen some of these acts at a festival already (Alexisonfire, Thursday)... It'll probably be a fucking blast!
Bands I'm excited for: Rammstein QOTSA Alexisonfire The Offspring Wu-Tang Clan Megadeth BFMV ATDI AFI 311 Bad Religion Pennywise Good Charlotte Thursday Parkway Drive KSE Goldfinger RBF LTJ Anti-Flag ABR ATR Protest the Hero Jello Biafra Terror Converge PUP Basement A Wilhelm Scream Norma Jean Crazy that there's 30 bands I'm legitimately excited for!
Gaddamn. Alexis, QOTSA, AFI, Converge, PUP, Norma Jean.... that is an absolutely stacked lineup. Kinda wanna make the trip up from Chicago haha
Yikes... So from what I can tell, there are 123 bands playing the festival and the only bands with women in them are: - LES COWBOYS FRINGANTS - THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE - LES ORDURES IONIQUES Of these bands, there are only 3 women total. Assuming four members per band, there are 492 musicians playing, with the three women representing 0.61% of total musicians at the festival.
Awesome lineup like usual. It might not quite be on the same level as the last two, but still tons of great stuff.
Surprised to see 311 up there, have been waiting for a long time for them to come to Canada! Anyways, great lineup, would love to go to this..
Maybe I'm the only one but if anything, a super stacked lineup like last year sort of just stresses me out. It's nice to have a few gaps in the day to avoid being in the pit for like 12 hours straight
100% agree. Lamb of God into Ice Cube into Limp Bizkit into Bring Me The horizon into Rise Against was almost too much last year for my body to handle, it's nice to have a break
I think the same way. But that's why I got the VIP seating ticket. There's inevitably going to be bands I care a little less about that I won't mind sitting down and taking a break while watching their set.
A couple to add: -Ensiferum's accordion player is female (I can't believe I just wrote that). -One of Conflict's vocalists is female.
