This weekend marks the much awaited return of Virgin Festival Toronto. People are crazy about the third annual festival and this year is bigger and better than ever. 54 artists are scheduled to appear, including super bands Foo Fighters and Oasis. It is estimated that 40,000 people will attend.
“This year’s Virgin Festival Toronto is set to go down as the best ever,” says Nathan Rosenberg, chief marketing officer, Virgin Canada. “Since we launched in 2006, Virgin Festival has brought together more than 130,000 music fans and taken its place as one of the top rock festivals in the country. Virgin Festival attracts the biggest acts from all around the world. With this year’s heavy hitters Oasis and Foo Fighters, plus 52 other amazing artists, we’ve got a jam-packed weekend that people will never forget.”
