Scheduling change creates extra value for Metric fans as Emily Haines and James Shaw grace the LIVE at Squamish stage a second time for a special Acoustic Performance!

LIVE at Squamish festival organizers brand.LIVE have made some minor adjustments to the festival line up and are excited to announce a special Saturday evening acoustic performance by Emily Haines and James Shaw.

Originally scheduled to headline the main stage on Saturday, Metric will now perform their headline set on Sunday, with Weezer closing the night, while Emily and James will perform a rare and intimate acoustic set at the Garibaldi Stage on Saturday, August 20th.

“I’m really looking forward to playing two sets at LIVE at Squamish with two very different sounds – a stripped-down, acoustic session on Saturday followed by a raw, rock-out on Sunday. Being part of such a great line-up and in one of Canada’s most beautiful settings is a perfect combination for an awesome summer music festival,” says Emily Haines .

This schedule change created an opportunity for superstar mash-up DJ Girl Talk to move over to the main stage on Saturday night, on which he commented “I am very excited to be alive in 2011 and heading to the LIVE at Squamish festival for my first time”. His last local appearance at Yaletown LIVE CITY during the Olympics was widely regarded as a highlight of the program and promises to be one of the most talked about performances of the weekend.

LIVE at Squamish takes place Saturday August 20th and Sunday August 21st, 2011 at Hendrickson Fields & Logger Sports Ground in Squamish.

A limited number of tickets are still available at with prices starting at just $89 (plus service charges). Single day ticket holders wishing to upgrade to full weekend passes should call Gettix at 1-866-676-7661.

I totally booked everything off to see Metric. Didn't think it would be a problem considering they are still advertising Metric for Saturday. This is very frustrating

I know this may suck for a lot of you wishing to see Metric. But even thought they are rockstars, they are people too. And have lives and families with circumstances, that sometimes need to come before "The Show". We as fans should be able to understand this at times. Let's not let this put a damper on our weekend. This will be an excellent festival. And thank you to Emily and James, for making the extra effort for us. I'm a real fan:)

bought early bird tickets way back when, booked Saturday off work specifically to see Metric and have to work sunday. The promoters are still hanging posters advertising Metric as the headliners on Sat. night. not impressed.

Wife and I purchased tickets to see Metric on Saturday. Arranged child care a month ago. A date that is a rarity these days. Total let down.

this is very disappointing. we can swap tickets to sunday - but how about those of us who can't take monday off - can we get refunds? such a disappointment.

This SUCKS! I work at 5:30 AM on Monday morning and can't book the day off now, so exchanging the tickets is a USELESS option for me. Really really disappointed.

This is a joke - one weeks notice to try and get extra time off work and find accomodation. Like most others we were only going on Saturday to see Metric (you could have at least moved Weezer to the Saturday line-up which is now pretty unappealing)

I assume full refunds on Saturday tix are being offered because of this??

Saturday tickets can be changed for Sunday for free. Saturday tickets can be bumped up to Weekend for $50 - please call Gettix on 1-888-676-7661 to make the change.

alex, the addition was made because Metric HAD to move to Sunday due to unforeseen circumstances with the band. The Saturday performance is a bonus.

I feel it's really unfair that this big of a change would be made and ticket holders weren't even notified.. a Sunday concert is a lot different than a Saturday concert and this is really going to screw up a lot of people's plans. Would have been nice to have a heads up?!

This would have never had happened if you had kept metric on the usual schedule, why changing OUR schedule if you want to add something add it on sunday and leave our line-up intact. the telephone number there is not answering. changing a headliner band and call it a `,minor change` IS NOT OKAY.

this is unbelievable, i hope you guys get to change my saturday tickets otherwise i payed 200 dollars for nothing. what a joke.

this is actually unbelievable. I only have tickets for Saturday and I was counting of a full blown "raw, rock-out."
I think I might cry...

I am so angry and disappointed. I purchased tickets to see Metric, not other bands that I haven't heard of. This is a waste of my money. THIS IS NOT FAIR.
