But lots of others don't. One thing does concern me - a few years ago "Blackie & The Rodeo Kings" were on the lineup and they played almost everywhere.. at every stage & workshop - either together or apart. It got to the point where I was seriously craving a workshop without one of them up on stage for it.. just way too much of one group of guys. <br /><br />Please don't carpet bomb the festival site with Blackie & The RK's.. we're looking for more variety please!

I'm excited about Tegan & Sara but they come to Winnipeg often enough anyways.

Apparently there was a disconcertingly low number of ticket buyers at the FF store this morning which could be viewed as a wider reaction to the line-up too.<br /><br />I know that every year there is new music to be found at FF, but for 2011, there is not near enough of exciting names to back that up. Having said that, I'm sure that the festival will do we regardless of this line-up, as many people "go for the experience" rather than the music.<br /><br />However, I can say for myself the line-up has moved me from purchasing a full-week + camping, to a possible single day depending on when M.Ward plays.willlllllnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7601291809904800879.post-35200886384270192832011-03-19T15:24:35.951-05:002011-03-19T15:24:35.951-05:00I too was slightly disappointed.
