V Fest Calgary Lineup Announced

(andPOP) - Canadian icons the Tragically Hip and the newly reformed Stone Temple Pilots will headline Calgary's first-ever Virgin Festival this summer.

Other acts scheduled to take the stage include the Flaming Lips and Canadians the New Pornographers, Stars, Matthew Good, City and Colour, Three Days Grace and the Constantines.

The lineup was in part created from the requests of Calgarians, who were asked by promoters to name their performers of choice through email, snail mail and Facebook.

"When we announced Virgin Festival Calgary, I promised that we'd continue to make music a huge part of people's lives," said Virgin Group chairman Richard Branson in a press release. "Who knows better what music Calgary wanted to hear at their first festival than Calgarians themselves?"

Limited early bird tickets went on sale Wednesday, while general ticket sales begin April 12.

The festival will take place at Fort Calgary from June 21 to 22.

Toronto's V Fest is set for Sept. 6 and 7, while the dates for the Vancouver edition have yet to be finalized.
