The official first draft of the line up of this year, Montreal own music festival, Osheaga has been revealed earlier today, and I’m happy to say that it’s much better than last year, but while better, it’s still nowhere the standard of what the likes of Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza etc.. has set with better line up year after year.
At least we can say that we really have a headlining band this year. Unlike last year where The Killers and Jack Johnson were closing their respective day. This year we have Coldplay on Saturday and the Beastie Boys on Sunday. While I believe in Coldplay hype to bring people to the festival, I’m still not sold on the Beastie Boys though.
But yeah, I’ll still be happy to have a ‘major’ music festival in my hometown, no matter what.
