Nice one. Saw them at Classic West in LA this years. Eagles were outstanding.

Artist presale was yesterday, got my four. If you are interested in this don't wait, they'll go fast.

After passing on an opportunity to see Temple of the Dog last year because it was "too expensive" I've really changed my tune on seeing bands I've always wanted to but for some reason never did.

Hmmmm, I'd think that would have to be a pretty decent ticket price to make it work.

 

 

 

2018 VILLAINS NORTH AMERICA TOUR
 
Having lain waste to grateful capacity crowds from Chicago’s Riot Fest to Denver’s Red Rocks to the 30,000+ strong throng at the recent CalJam 17—and with a first ever headline engagement at New York’s Madison Square Garden barely a week away—Queens Of The Stone Age announce the first 2018 installment of the ongoing and ever intensifying Villains North American touring campaign.
 
The new dates, which begin January 22, 2018 in Victoria BC and include headline stops at The Forum in Los Angeles and Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, will be on sale from October 27.
 
The 2018 shows are announced in the wake of every North American date on the current run having sold out while generating the most ecstatic responses of the Queens’ touring history, with recent raves including:
 
"Queens can go dark and sinister with the best arena-rock bands of the last two decades.”—CHICAGO TRIBUNE
 
“Awesome… while Villains under Ronson's guidance brings out the dance-floor undertones from the group, Queens is still a band that rocks hard, evident at its intense Milwaukee show Sunday for a sold-out crowd”—MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL
 
“A thing of beauty... a wonderfully ugly, gnarly, twisted batch of songs that offered equal parts release and rejoicing for the sold-out, cramped-but-lively crowd”—MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE
 
“Immense power… Very few bands can put the hammer down so heavy while getting so ethereal on the top”—PITTSBURGH POST GAZETTE
 
Produced by Mark Ronson and Queens Of The Stone Age, Villains was released August 25 on Matador Records. The album debuted at #1 in the UK, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Switzerland and Portugal, #2 in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Finland, Norway and Ireland, #3 on the Billboard 200 and #1 on the U.S. album chart, #4 on Japan’s international chart and #5 in Italy—easily the single biggest global sales week of the Queens’ seven album stretch. Villains’ first seven days in existence also saw nearly 100,000 vinyl albums moved worldwide, as the record became the #1 selling vinyl LP in the UK, U.S. and Germany. Villains also took the U.S. #1 spots on the Alternative, Hard, Rock, Internet and Independent Label Album charts and #2 on the Digital Album sales chart.

Jon and Roy Christmas concerts announced today. The usual alix goolden PLUS shows in Campbell river and salt spring at the Fulford hall, which is a tremendous venue and great sound.

Jesse Roper doing an acoustic set and the weirdos of Astrocolor coming along too.

It just sounds like the organizer has lots on his plate, he owns a few businesses.  And year after year the festival was barely breaking even.  At one point it might have been necessary and nice to fill his Big Fish Lodge with guests.  Now maybe a summer festival makes less sense, as Renfrew becomes more popular.  He's still doing his February festival  Song and Surf.

That exchange rate is hitting the festival circuit in Canada pretty hard.
