Yeee-hah. Still fuzzy-headed and in need of a pint of Bloody Mary to help us recover from all four Australian VFestivals… the ultimate hangover cure comes along. Yes - Virgin Festival Calgary raises it’s curtains to the lucky Canadians for the very first time revealing the awesome lineup of Stone Temple Pilots, The Tragically Hip, The Flaming Lips (big yay!), Three Days Grace, Matthew Good, City And Colour and Stars. Check out virginfestival.ca/calgary for the full lineup. Get those button-clicking fingers ready coz early bird tickets go on sale today, YES TODAY at 10am MST until Friday 11 April 5pm MST. Grab your early birdies now! Otherwise you have to join the virtual queue with all the normal smelly punters for the general release date of Saturday 12 April at 10am MST from Futureshop or Ticketmaster. Or you can even pick up the old blower and dial 403-777-0000. Heck, you could even get off your skinny arses and go along to an actual real-life Future Shop or Ticketmaster outlet. Revolutionary. There’s just no excuse. Stay logged on to virgin.com/music for more gossip as soon as I can invent some… See ya later pardner (now I will stop with the crap cowboy-isms)

Gotta say a big THANKS to Richard Branson for bringing the band I never thought I would have the chance to see to Calgary! Stone Temple Pilots rocks, and so do you! Got my tickets, can’t wait for the 20th of June!

What an awful lineup. Pretty weak effort Virgin. All the bands I can see any other day of the week in some shitty bar for 10 bucks. STP for 80 bucks? Not likely.
Try harder.
