Just got this off of the web page:


Pearl Jam, Billy Talent and Metric top the bill of Calgary's Virgin Festival lineup, it was unveiled today at a press conference.

The festival will take place Aug. 8 and 9 at Canada Olympic Park. The bill also includes The Cliks, Tokyo Police Club, The Arkells, Thunderheist, White Lies, Mother Mother, Shout Out Out Out Out.

It's a change of venue for the festival, which last year brought Stone Temple Pilots, the Flaming Lips and Tragically Hip to Fort Calgary. Noise complaints from neighbours were lodged with City Hall after last year's festival.


Two-day tickets are 132.00.

Sweet line up, its been forever since I've seen Billy Talent.

Thunderheist kicks ass, and we just had Mother Mother sell out our venue a couple of months ago, great show!

Looks like I may have to get tickets for this years Vfest!

sweet, PJ coming back to the City...seems like last year there were more big acts-Billy Talent isn't enough to get me to go on Sunday, but PJ on Saturday should be great

Really excited to see Pearl Jam. Not sure how I feel about the rest of the lineup. Billy Talent would be ok but they need to add more to get me out on Sunday.

I remember a Canada Day "festival" they had at COP a long time ago. I think Headstones were there among others. Fireworks at the end... it was tons of fun. Only problem was parking and the cops were having a hay day ticketing everyone parked all over 16th Ave. I believe they were running busses at the time too.

Parking will be an issue but it should be a decent show.

Yeah, I remember that Canada day. The parking situation was AWEFUL. There is allegedly and 8000 car overflow lot, but toss even a drop of rain onto it and you're in mud city. Probably best to bus down.
