Speculation

This is based purely on my speculation (and hopes!) but Broken Social Scene who have played the festival before will be performing the weekend prior to Hillside on Coney Island, NY. Not a long trek from Guelph in a week... They then play Lollapalooza (Chicago) the following weekend.
Of note: the latest "BSS presents..." album drops the Tuesday (22nd) before Hillside.

Also one of last year's buzz bands based purely on their Hillside tent demolishing closing set, Shout Out Out Out Out, are doing another festival this summer in Canada. SO4 play the Winnipeg Jazz Fest a month earlier - and I know they played Hillside last year and Hillside Inside but who knows? Maybe they'll get a third straight invite.


In other Arts & Crafts news, the Most Serene Republic are playing the Hillside Saturday according to their label.
