Home of the Best of Halifax Reader's Choice Awards, the award-winning independent newspaper covers the Halifax news, politics, events, concerts, movies, restaurants, and nightlife scene.
I am surprised by the rumors going around about U2 coming to the commons. The more realistic rumours I’ve heard are Van Halen or Metallica.
I just don’t think our little city is big enough for U2. Sorry people. Guess you’ll have to schlep it to TO or Montreal like the rest of us.—Give it up

eeew U2
Hell the Common alone isn’t big enough to house Bono’s ego. Fuck, You’d need Wembley Stadium for that.
Don’t get too hyped up for Halen or Metallica either. Both bands are about 20 years too late, especially since Eddie Van Halen’s bout with cancer, and James Hetfield dropping the booze and starting to wear a tampon.
and another good thing is what, exactly?
I’d still see Metallica.
I will one day, mark my words… just not going to be the same without newstead.
I hope it’s Talk Talk……. would do anything to see their 1982 performance of Such a Shame like it was performed in Montreux… haha
Maybe Devo will show. Or Killer Clamz? The Smiths? Hello?
I’m still gunning for NKOTB.
Flame away, bitchez.
sa Talk Talk open for the Furs. long time ago efffing brilliant; Talk Talk by Talk is one of the best tunes ever
but they’re men now pk
Only the Libertines, Pixies or Queens of the Stone Age could make me move my lard ass and all its satellites.
them crooked vultures would be nice to see, except they only have 1 album
Speaking of QOTSA, I’d love to see a Screaming Trees reunion.
I’d love to see Wolfmother, actually. Some of that post-Jet Aussie Rock is pretty decent. Airbourne deserves a mention. Those dude are absolutely channeling early AC/DC.
Dr. Fever, I wolfed your mother last night actually
*said in my best fake Sean Connery impression*
Good! I hope Boner stays the hell away from Halifax. Ugly loser.
Hell, why not shoot for the moon and see if Madonna wants to swing by for an afternoon…
yeah i really want to see sinew girl hump something
I’m glad U2 isn’t coming. The city is smelly enough with the harbour. We don’t need Bono’s arrogance stinking it up anymore.
I’m holding out for Taylor Swift.
