Yeah, the big acts skip Ottawa more often than not. The only reason U2 decided to come to here was because of Paul Martin. Ottawa usually gets shafted because we're so close to Toronto and Montreal.
The Pixies played the Robert Guertin Arena across the bridge in Gatineau last winter.
We get our fair share of big names though... Motorhead is coming in about 2 weeks... Collective Soul next month, I'm not a fan, but they're a big enough name.
I'm considering a drive to Montreal next month to see The Mars Volta, the only problem is I work the next morning and it's about a 2 hour drive home.
