News: Cat Power, Vampire Weekend Play Rogers Picnic

With Animal Collective, Dizzee Rascal, Tokyo Police Club, Born Ruffians

Whoever this Roger is, he'd better have a pretty big fucking lawn. We just got our invite to the Rogers Picnic in Toronto on July 20, and once everybody hears about the evening's entertainment, he might wanna think about packing enough plastic cutlery to go around.

Joining Roger at this year's bash are Animal Collective, Cat Power, Vampire Weekend, Dizzee Rascal, Tokyo Police Club, Born Ruffians, Chromeo, the Carps, and only-in-Canada headliners Alexisonfire side project City and Colour.

Oh, so it's not at some dude named Roger's pad, but rather at downtown Toronto's Fort York? And Rogers is actually not a dude but a cell phone company? Really?! What, are you now going to try to tell me that the O2 Wireless Festival isn't named after oxygen or something?
