What did you all think of the Festival this year?
Three Days Grace were AWESOME, and by far the best band this year.......and maybe the best band here to date IMO.
The Hip were good, but the song choices were not great. They didn't play any of their better songs IMO... "Courage", "Boots Or Hearts", "Little Bones".....those songs are AWESOME, but never got played.
I was looking forward to Fridays concert the most. Hip, Mays, and Sam Roberts, but it was last night that The Waterfront rocked.
Theory Of A Deadman were very good, loved the "Better Off" performance.......but Three Days Grace saved this years Festival IMO..
I would pay $50 just to see them live......once again.

I didnt enjoy it really, didnt like any of the bands all that well....didnt even stick around to finish watching some of them.
Next year I am buying a pass based on whether or not i would stand out in the rain to watch a certain band play, if i dont think any of them are worth watching in the rain i wont be buying a pass
So overall I didnt like the festival this year, didnt seem there was much going on beside the band parts and when it came to the bands i just didnt enjoy them because i simply dont like any of them. But for people who liked the bands I am sure they put on a great show

Took in Sunday night's show and thought Theroy of a Deadman was good, but I didn't recoginze one song that 3 Days Grace played, but I don't own a cd and don't have any of their songs downloaded or recall hearing them on the radio. We missed Hedley, but we seen the idiot himself running around inside the VIP area during the last band, if that had been anyone else, they would have been put out on their ass.

Headly was acting like a idiot, Jacob in particular...fucking crazy. One of my friends daughters was trying to get his autograph and he said he didnt have a pen so he poured his beer all over the front of her white headly tank top then said "now show me your boobs"....she was 15 years old...she didnt care though cause she thought that was pretty cool but man he shouldnt be doing that kinda shit. I only seen 10 mins of his on stage antics and that was bad enough.

TOTALLY agree, I was by the VIP area for most of the Three Days Grace set, and had a great view of most of Hedley dude's antics. I'm sorry, I know that I'm not exactly a model citizen either when hammered, but that guy was being a total zoo, and DEFINITELY would have been tossed had he been just some regular guy.

I agree with you Score, Three Days Grace has been the best band to ever play the Festival. Their new album is wicked and I had been listening to it for about a month and a half so that helped...I was also disapointed with the Hip, first time I seen them and I was expecting more....Three Days Grace made up for everything with an awesome performance....now looking forward to the rumored Stones, Aerosmith and Who concert in Halifax this fall...

Was disappointed in Hip selection of tunes as well but for me the music is an afterthought.. the festival is more about partying with friends and strangers alike.. and if a band plays a kickass set at the same time just an added bonus.
I was not upset about missing the sunday night show tho.. one night of concerts is enough for me nowadays
