Hillside Festival On Sale Monday

This year's Hillside Festival will be July 28, 29 & 30 on the Island at Guelph Lake Conservation Area. Early bird weekend passes go on sale Monday, and will sell quickly. Early bird passes are already sold out! They are now selling the $80 advance weekend passes. If you want to go, you should get tickets soon. Last year all weekend and day tickets were sold out a month before the festival. You can get tickets and info here. There's no word yet on who's playing, as soon as I find out I will pass the info on. See update below. In the meantime, here's some tunes from some of the great artists who played last year's festival. All files are right click, save as.

• The Arcade Fire - Crown of Love
• Broken Social Scene - Windsurfing Nation (they were joined on stage by k-OS for this song)
• Crescent & Frost - Love is a Whip
• Cuff The Duke - Anti-Social
• Fembots - Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist
• The Hidden Cameras - Music Is My Boyfriend
• Po' Girl - Driving
• Sam Roberts - The Canadian Dream
• Xavier Rudd - The 12th of September
• Stars - What I'm Trying To Say
• The Weakerthans - One Great City!

Update: The first list of performers were announced on Friday, looks like it's going to be another unforgettable weekend! Specific dates haven't been announced yet, and probably won't be until July. It's a good bet that Feist will be performing on Friday as she's also playing the Calgary Folk Festival that weekend. I'll have some music up for this year's lineup later this week.

• Feist
• Sarah Harmer
• Corb Lund
• Kathleen Edwards
• The Hidden Cameras
• Cuff the Duke
• Final Fantasy
• Cadence Weapon
• The Sadies
• Constantines
