Massive Woodstock-Esque Climate Change Festival Coming To Toronto's Downsview Park ...
No artists have been announced for the Imagine Music & Arts Festival yet, but organizers want all the performers to "reflect the spirit of the Earthship Summit." Basically, this means green musicians.
U2 are a blatantly obvious choice.
Given that Radiohead are absolutely massive, they've supported green initiatives with their touring, Thom Yorke has spoken out against climate change repeatedly in the past, and the organizers clearly want this to be a gigantasaurus event, they seem like another good selection to play at least one day of this thing.
In 2008, Canadian artists including Hawksley Workman, K-OS, members of Billy Talent, the Barenaked Ladies, Three Days Grace and Broken Social Scene recorded a song called "You Have A Choice" to garner support for green policies before the 2008 Canadian federal election. They seem like good choices, as well.
The Rolling Stones, Fall Out Boy, Keane, Kaiser Chiefs, Jack Johnson and The Killers contributed songs to a Rhythm Del Mundo compilation dubbed Classics, which sent its proceeds to Artists Project Earth. It raises money and awareness about climate change and natural disasters. ...

What an f'ing joke this has all become. I live in Toronto and even as a free concert now I wouldn't pay the $3 it takes to take the subway out to Downsview for this pile of Leno.
I actually had high hopes that this group could string together a half decent local festival to cheaply break up the year long wait for Roo. Oh well!
Surprise, Surprise, the Imagine Festival has been canceled. Not much of a loss with that crappy line-up. They say that it has been postponed until next year but I highly doubt that it will ever happen.
