Despite no official word on the complete lineup yet, I can now confirm that there will be another metal band at this year's Hempfest! And it's none other than locals Garden of Bedlam! This will be their second performance at Hempfest, having played there last year as well! Garden of Bedlam will take the stage on Friday, August 28th, at 5:00 PM for their set, which should end by 6:30 PM! Garden of Bedlam join Lion Ride as metal acts on this year's Hempfest, though Lion Ride are playing a day after Garden of Bedlam! For more information, visit the official Facebook event page for Garden of Bedlam's set at Hempfest!
Remember, this will be the last Hempfest, due to increasing costs and stricter R.I.D.E. program enforcement, so if you wanna support marijuana use & legalization, and enjoy some live entertainment, this is your last chance! If you want tickets, they are $40 in advance for the entire event! If you're showing up at the gate, tickets are $50 for four days, $40 for three, and $30 for two. It is obviously 19+, and for tickets, call 1-888-215-8970, or go to Planetary Pride's official website! Stay tuned to Hempfest's official website as well for full festival details and updates! And of course, if I hear of any new metal bands on the lineup, I'll be sure to let you guys know!Now, there are tons of concerts in the next four days, including two shows each for Jager and Nixxon Dixxon, plus concerts featuring Mr. Denton On Doomsday, Free Refill and Woods of Ypres! I contemplated previewing all the shows today, but I figure I'll break it up a tiny bit for length. So I'll preview the Friday-Sunday concerts tomorrow as usual, and I'll give you guys the preview for tomorrow's show right now!
Lansing experimental metal band Mr. Denton on Doomsday return to Sault Michigan tomorrow for a special benefit show! They're playing to raise money for the McCorkle family, whose 11 year old daughter Claire needs a heart transplant. They're hoping to raise $25,000, and hopefully they can raise a lot of money towards that tomorrow! It's a great cause, best of luck to the McCorkle family! This show will take place at The Big Bear Arena (across the road from Kewadin Casino, inside the Chi Muk Wa Community Recreation Center) at 8:00 PM tomorrow!Check out Mr. Denton on Doomsday on MySpace, cause they're quite an original band! For a preview, here's a video of the band playing an acoustic version of their song "It's Rock And Roll Bitch"!
Next up, a local hard rock band is hitting the road, and it's not who you might be thinking! Stillbroke have booked a pair of out of town shows next month! They will be in Baysville, Ontario for a show on September 4th at The Baysville Pavilion, followed by a show the next day in Bracebridge, Ontario at The Purple Pig! Nice to see Stillbroke bringing their music to some new places, hopefully they can make some new fans and get some more exposure! Of course, if I hear of any more out of town shows from Stillbroke, and local shows too, you'll find it here, and at their official MySpace page! Both of these shows are also now in the Out of Town Concert Listings!
Finally, two small items. First, I edited three venues for Woods of Ypres' upcoming Western Canada tour, as I forgot to change them when they last updated their itinerary. Their show on Tuesday in Winnipeg is now at The Royal Albert, their August 20th show in Prince Albert is now at The Jamspot, and their August 22nd show in Calgary is now at The Warehouse! The Out of Town Listings have been updated to reflect these! Secondly, I made a mistake. The Quite Frankly concert on Doncaster Road this past weekend was actually on Saturday, not Sunday. I can't believe I messed that up, and I'm sorry for the mistake!Alright, that's all for today, stay tuned for the rest of the local concert previews for this weekend tomorrow, and any new stuff I may have to report too! Thanks everyone, and HELP GARDEN OF BEDLAM GET NOTICED BY ROADRUNNER RECORDS! CLICK HERE!
