Here is some info I have on the reasons why WEMF is a little different this year ... Glad the WEMF crew are dedicated :)
After being screwed in Bobcaygeon (our original venue) and seeing non-existant SARS scare away all the people from wanting to head up here we had basically decided to give up - we were very close to never doing another show again. Then at the last minute, we said screw it - we love this music - these people - and this party and we gotta do something. The first thought was to do what we were gonna call WEMF Lite - 1 stage with just the headliners. We looked at the budget and saw we had already dropped almost 50k on a venue we couldn't even use and now we were starting from scratch again. We then found Trudeau's Park, but due to zoning rules in that town only certain sections of the park can be used for special events - this forced us to scale back the event to fit it into the space provided for entertainment and within the budget we had to work with. To make this happen we needed to cut some talent - the only fair way we could see to do this was to cut 3 names per stage and that is what we did - nobody singled out the hardcore stage - it was treated like all the rest. The reason the Just Dance stage was remeoved was because the owner of Just 2 Talent went AWOL and half his DJs refused to play for him - so that was just a writeoff for everyone invloved and was a decision that was made for us - not by us.
To make up for the slightly reduced lineup we have dropped the prices of the event - even made EB tickets 2 for 1 for a bonus to our early supporters.
To make this event happen AT ALL these changes HAD to be made. We hope to see you all up for what we know we still be one of the BEST events of the year, but if you choose not to come because one or two names are not on, then that is your choice - and your loss. WEMF is an experience and the sounds you will hear from the hundreds of quality entertainers that will be there is second to none!
