    Great. They're better than the rest of the announced bands so far so there may be someone else worth watching at the show on Saturday. If they are on at 6:20 on a side stage, that might mean Pearl Jam is on by 7:30 which would give them at least 2:30 to play. Good stuff.

    Metric's worth checking out, they're playing the next day...
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Agreed! Even Metric, or even ... .. Yeah Yeah Yeah's! ;)
    Wintersleep did a great set here opening for Sir Paul few weeks back.

    Metric opening for Pearl Jam is a dream show for me!

    It is too bad that PJ couldn't get Wintersleep to open in Toronto as well. That is a great addition to a very weak V Fest lineup in Calgary though!

    I'm digging the 6:20 start time--I'd say that means at least two hours for Pearl Jam, and maybe more. Four more days!

    Very cool that Wintersleep is playing! They did a great job when they opened for PJ for the St. Johns shows back in 2005.

    It will be great to see Wintersleep again...but man I am excited about this show :) This will be my first time ever that I only had to travel like twenty minutes to see Pearl Jam. I guess it is the one perk of living in Calgary.

    I'm glad to hear this. I missed Wintersleep when they were in Edmonton last, at my favorite venue no less. This makes the $100 ticket absolutely worth it! Awesome band.

    Much love for Wintersleep - wouldn't have dared missed their set if they were opening in T.O. - not the case with TL and the Rx.
