Virgin Festival 2006: September 9-10, 2006

For me, the biggest draw for Toronto's inaugural Virgin Festival was Massive Attack, so it was a major blow when they cancelled. Fortunately, strong sets from old favourites (such as Buck 65, The Dears, and Broken Social Scene) and previously unseen acts (including Wolfmother and The Raconteurs) salvaged a weekend plagued by a missing headliner, scheduling mishaps, and imperfect weather. My full festival recap can be found here.
