Like A Virgin
JULY 15TH, 2009
Like A Virgin
When it comes to music festivals, we get around. And while we have yet to do the beloved Glastonbury, there's a touch of England to be had on our own turf.
With love from Briton Richard Branson, the Virgin Festival is back in B.C. and the bill is a bounty of Canadian greats (Our Lady Peace, Metric and Broken Social Scene) and American all-stars (The Roots, Sonic Youth and Ben Harper & Relentless7), with a couple of Commonwealthers (Jarvis Cocker and Gomez) thrown in for good measure.
We may be a Glastonbury virgin, but we get around.
Virgin Festival, July 25-26 at Deer Lake Park, 6450 Deer Lake Ave., Burnaby, www.virginfestival.ca/bc, weekend pass $135 available at Ticketmaster.
