EMC news - Neil Young and Crazy Horse will rock the opening night of the Folk Festival on Sept. 4. The festival’s executive programming director Mark Monahan announced the lineup of the 20th edition of the event on June 11. Monahan said organizers added a day on the fourth because they landed the Canadian rocker for opening night. In the three years Monahan has overseen the event, he said he has seen the audience grow in numbers. It has also become more diverse and younger. Part of the reason for that, he said, was subsidized student passes available at the city’s two universities and Algonquin College. “We already have agreements with the University of Ottawa and Algonquin,” Monahan said. “We are just finalizing with Carleton.” Acts like Vampire Weekend, Amos the Transparent, The Sheepdogs and the Carolina Chocolate Drops are also aimed at bringing in a younger crowd. Names like Neil Young, Pattie Smith and Emmylou Harris help the festival stick to its folk roots. The five-day event will kick off at Hog’s Back on Sept. 4 and close on Sept. 8 – a little bit later than its been held in the past, but Monahan said he isn’t worried about the weather. “One of the rainiest festivals was when it was held in the third week of August,” he said. “Obviously you run a risk when its an outdoor festival but we had a look at the forecast and things are pretty similar weather-wise in the first couple of weeks in September.”
