So far, the line-up is insanely sick- I just wish I could go!

Tickets can be purchased here, and are priced as the following:

Tickets for the Toronto festival are $145 for the weekend; $155 for a "special edition ticket" and $500 for the Live Nation Lounge Platinum Weekend Pass (inc. private bar, restrooms, complimentary food and parking, bleacher seating with premium views of both stages, and more). Service charges and charity fee will be added to all tickets.

This festival will coincide with the Heavy MTL event, which takes place in Montreal the same weekend and features the same bands, but on opposite days. Go here for more information.
