Hillside Recap to-date

Only a couple weeks until Hillside tickets go on-sale (May 2). There's been a mad frenzy for them each of the past few years so all bets are on another sell-out. One of the advantages for Hillside organizers is Hillside loyalty - the return of patrons regardless of the line-up - however that loyalty has been built by years (25 of them, in fact) of solid programming. I know you're saying "get to the goods!" so here is the list of performers I've gathered so far - look for an official early release from the Hillside website in the next couple weeks.

Confirmed:
Tokyo Police Club (indie rockers)
Buffy Sainte-Marie (Native Performer)
Kae Sun (reggae, hip hop)

Basically Confirmed:
Bahamas (2-piece indie rock)
Eccodek (World music)
Kate Reid (acoustic, folk)
Jayme Stone (jazz/roots/african, banjo, Juno-award winner)
Kristin Sweetland (acoustic, folk rock)
Grupo Fantasma (funky latin orchestra)
Red Rosary (Young Guelph "all-girl rock band")

Probable (from the depths of the internets):
David Francey (alt. folk)
Ariana Gillis (folk rock/pop)
