I think this is kind of junk. Creation Festival has put together a tour which includes 9 bands and a speaker. It sounds like I pretty decent lineup, but I was trying to do the math. They are doing shows through the week, not just on weekends, so of course they have to start in the evening. But of course since it is "christian", I knew they wouldn't go that late. If every band plays just a half hour with no change over time, that would be 4.5 hours already, and you haven't even put in the speaker. I sent a message on their myspace asking how they were going to fit everything into one evening. Rather than answering my question, they just replied that "The total run time will be 4 hours."!

My feeling is that this has been put together just to make money. By using their name and getting a lot of good bands onto the lineup, they have gotten a lot of sponsors on board. Add to this the idea that they can charge >$20 for tickets and get a lot of people coming because of all the bands. However I'm feeling like this is going to be kind of a rip off for the fans who go to see one or two of their favorite bands. I wonder if they'll be disappointed when they only play like 3-4 songs.
