Is where I'm going to be this time next week! I am so friggin' excited. The line-up is amazing!
Basically folkfest is a bunch of different musical acts from various genres (folk, indie, hip-hop, celtic, etc) and it lasts about a weekend. It's a family event so no beer gardens (boooo, haha), and there are venders and things too. =D Soooooo excited! It goes from Friday evening to Sunday!
Some of the bands that are playing:
Neko Case
heart (I'm mostly going for her, I love her country/folk style and her voice is so hauntily beautiful! Check out Maybe Sparrow on youtube. :3)
City and Colour
Chumbawumba Acoustic (remember them? Only acoustic! haha)
Final Fantasy (also super excited for Owen Pallet too. He's a crazy intense violinist!)
Great Big Sea (made a lot of people jealous with them already, but personally I'm not super big on them - still good!)
Don MacLean (Hey hey Ms.American Pie...heheh XD)
Polyjesters (I think I've heard/seen them before)
Rufus Wainwright
Hawksley Workman
Aaaand for a full list!
