Re Garth Brooks, would'nt be surprised if one or two extra shows are added, once the first sells out in 2 mins. April 3rd and 4 there is nothing on at CTC, Brooks is playing 5 shows in Hamilton, and in most of the cities he is playing more than one show, some cities he is doing 2 shows the same day

Radiohead will tour North American festivals starting July, good chance of them being at one of Bluesfest, Osheaga or Wayhome.

5 shows in Hamilton? I think we can officially say that Hamilton is the trashiest city in Canada. Congratulations, Hamilton.

I managed to get Garth tickets but it was frustrating how you couldn't pick seats or days. Whatever showed up, that's what you get.

You could pick the day (you chose the day in the first splash screen), it "picked the best seats" for you though

Ditto. The entire country music genre is white noise to me, much to the disappointment of my CMA-watching better half...

I use to feel the same way, but there is some awesome country music and country influenced music....Neil Young, Ryan Adams, Wilco, Gram Parsons, The Eagles....

No idea what your musical tastes are, but give Shooter Jennings (Waylon Jennings son) or Ryan Bingham a whirl



As for Garth Brooks...I'm not a huge pop country fan, but like his stuff. He was HUGE in the 1990s.

One of his bigger songs, and a great drinking song:

I saw Pearl Jam in Ottawa a couple years ago, they put on a great show as always.

Garth Brooks is to country what the Beatles were to rock, he completely changed the genre and redefined it (for better or for worst). Any country whatsoever on the radio nowadays is directly influenced by him.

Love music recommendations! I'm already a huge fan of Neil, Ryan Adams (including his homage to 1989), and Wilco... love, love, love Wilco. They were great at City Folk and even better many moons ago at the NAC.

I got tickets today when they went on at noon (ended up being section 324)... was trying to find an insider promo code but had no luck.
No idea why I don't get the emails since I've got tickets from CTC before and actually have that box checked to say 'send me emails!!!'
