Music News: The Boss and The Weakerthans coming to town

The Weakerthans play the Phoenix on November 8. Tickets for that show are $25 and go on sale next Saturday, September 8.

One more change to the V-Fest line-up next weekend: indie popsters Peter Bjorn & John have cancelled, reportedly in order “to get a few seconds of screen time at the MTV Video Awards rather than play a gig to tens of thousands of festival-goers”. Hmmm, bit of a douche move there. The Constantines have been added to day two. Any chance that’s the last change?

Here’s a video of Feist as she performs 1-2-3-4 on Letterman this past week, with a backing choir made up of members of The National, Broken Social Scene, New Pornographers, and many other Pitchfork friendly musicians.

It’s being reported that Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band hit the road this Fall for a tour which'll stop in Toronto for a show at Air Canada Centre on October 15. Bruce has a new album "Magic" coming out on Columbia on October 2. I admire his work, but I can’t say I’m a diehard fan. That being said, I imagine it will be a solid show from a consummate performer, and would not say “no” to tickets.
