A little something for everyone and should be a nice little payday for the WBB FC. Need to have that stadium used as much as possible when no football or soccer...

Prediction: tickets for the first night will be discounted heavily. Those are 4 Club Regent-level acts....

FYP because I don't see one act in there for me. 😂  Hope the club does well though.

man I don't remember the last time they used the stadium for a concert (maybe Beyonce and Jay-z? likely One Direction in 2015) oh yeah that reminds me aren't we hosting the Grey Cup this year?

I think Def Leopard did alright at Canada Life Centre on their last tour. To me the biggest problem is that it is a Wednesday night...

Speaking of music, if you watched the Grammys last night you missed something spectacular on Global.

50 Years of Music on SNL was excellent. Sometimes can be hard to find SNL related online but seek it out, it will be worth the effort and 3 hours.

For the type of announcement they set up and the venue, that's pretty pathetic imo.

Paul? Taylor?

 

Winnipeg is a classic rock town... Def Lep should do well. And the 20-somethings who listen to QX104 (Winnipeg's top rated FM stick) will go nuts for the Aldean show. 

The mid week thing definitely sucks but I think they'll do alright.

Taylor may have been 2012, Paul was 2013 (I would know I went) I could swear it was 1 D in 2015 like after Zayn bailed

Meanwhile the Guess Who and BTO are still snubbed ( I thought CC was already in the hall of fame)

Guns N Roses (with Our Lady Peace) 2017.

OMG AC/DC was 10 years ago, time sure does fly

So Jason Aldean is out at Country Thunder and Riley Green is in.

@Noeller do you think that's a fair trade? 

I mean they're both hard rednecks but Green is way less outspoken about it. Aldean is almost as bad as Wallen for mouthing off about his politics. 

Fwiw I like Green a lot more than Aldean (musically). Good singer, decent writer. He's not a headliner of the same stature as Aldean but he's climbing. Fwiw, I personally prefer this line up and would be more inclined to buy a ticket now...

Mathis, like Perry Como had such a looooooooooooooooooong career as a crooner spanning the generations.

Free tickets to the BTO / Headpins / April Wine show on Sunday

they were announced during American Idol....and I just realized that Kelly Clarkson will be eligible in three years.....god I feel old (but I also question if reality show winners SHOULD be eligible for the hall of fame, hell I don't think anyone from The Voice has ever reached superstar status)
