Thank you everyone for your patronage to the Oilers is paying for these free concerts
Hell of a lot better than an old boarded up casino!
Either you are too young or too oblivious to the pro Calgary-Klein era that saw one child receiving everything while the rest went hungry; it was better than seeing people jamming needles into their arms like an art display. Bill Smith didn't ask Klein to give Calgary everything while Edmonton took a stab to the heart during our 90s recession.That was a remnant of the Bill Smith regime. At that time they were kicking around plans for a Superstore on what is now Rogers Place.
Hard to say who was playing but perhaps it was one of the lesser-known acts. Some photos from when Armin was playing had the crowd looking much, much larger, which makes sense since he's a huge name in the EDM scene.That Bomfest crowd looks small. I'm not really (at all) into the electronic music scene but I thought this was a fairly big event that drew ~10,000 based on pics I've seen from past years.
