Hey there folks! Its that time again, where we all get to play a guessing game! Its called the who the hells on the Edgefest tour!? Here are my predictions:
LIKELY PROSPECTS
**********************************************
The Tea Party- Promoting their new album Triptych.
Sloan- Look for them to be pimpin their double-live album
Hole- making up for lost canadian dates
Wide Mouth Mason- promoting their new album
Goo Goo Dolls- Almost a lock if you ask me. They have played 1 Toronto Date at the GODDAMM PHOENIX. After cancelling a Hamilton show how could they not?
Finger 11- maybe 2nd stage, look for them to disappear after this tour, they could also be SS maybes
IME- I'm not sure if they would do both Edgefest and SS, but I think they are more likely to do Edgefest because it will be closest to their release date, 2nd stage material as well.
Watchmen- perhaps the heros from Winnipeg will make it to main stage this year?
OffSpring- These guys haven't spent too much time in canada, look for them to fill the Green Day void. The more I think about it the more it makes sense.
LONGSHOTS AND FANTASIES
*************************************************
Stabbing WestWard- A Longshot, but since they can't yet do an arena, perhaps they'd like to score a HUGE audience by doing the tour. I dunno...
Chris Cornell- I'd blow my wad...he does have a new album coming out but this one is definitely a fantasy.
BUSH- a longshot, but just the band Universal would sign to rop in those TB's.
R.E.M.- They said they'd be touring this year...We can all have a dream can't we?
Everlast or The Flys- I'm guessing one of the two may round out the main stage, but this may be a bit of a leap....still won't match Creed though :(

Respond if you think I missed any...
