Each year since 2009 Sonic 102.9 has been hosting a giant party for your eyes and ears also known as a music festival at the Northlands Grounds.
The official line-up for Sonic Boom 2011 was announced today:
Jane's Addiction, Metric, Social Distortion, Cake, Cee Lo Green, Manchester Orchestra, The Joy Formidable and Hollerado
Honestly...it doesn't seem like it compares with last years line-up which included Rise Against!, Weezer, Tokyo Police Club, and more. I can't say much since I was a fool and didn't end up going to SB2010, but judging from the comments left on a certain social-networking site during the past few hours, not many people are as pleased with this year as with previous. However, they did seem to round out this years list with quite a few big names. Really though I'm pretty excited to see Metric finally, as well as Hollerado yet again. Cee-Lo seems like it should call for giant entertainment points and really, the other bands seem like they would be great to see in person. I had already decided to go regardless of the line-up, but now I actually have something solid to look forward to!
So if you're with me, use your finest ballpoint pen (or if you're feeling particularly adventurous, a sharpie) to deface your calendar for Sunday September 4th.
