Blame it on July

I'm getting ahead of myself but I've been worried about which festival(s) to attend in July. My living situation is in limbo, so chances are I may not have the money to attend any of the following so I can make rent, BUT, let's just discuss reasonably nearby out-of-town festivals in the month of July, shall we?

Ottawa Bluesfest, July 7-17th (approximately $25 CAN/day): Metric, Stars, Broken Social Scene, The Dears, Bebel Gilberto (!!!), Apostle of Hustle, Gentleman Reg, Jason Collet, Do Make Say Think, Black Eyed Peas and more...

Intonation in Chicago, July 16-17, ($10 US/day): The Go! Team, AC Newman, Broken Social Scene, Fiery Furances, Decemberist and more...

Hillside in Guelph, July 22-24 (early bird weekend pass $60 CAN): Arcade Fire, Stars, Weakerthans and more TBA...

To start it all off, the one and only Feist is playing a free Canada Day show at Harbourfront. Go Canada!
