Those are the ones that I remember. Most likely some smaller local bands/dj's in there. This was the most high-profile shows I've been to in a year. A lot of quality shows came through Winnipeg this year. It was crazy!
Carrie Underwood / Craig Morgan
Papa Roach / Skillet / Trapt / My Darkest Days
GWAR / The Casualties / Infernaeon/ Mobile Death Camp (went to a bar after that show, people though we were bums)
Epica / Scar Symmetry
I also managed to be in the same building as Tenacious D while they were performing. I stuck around for about two songs before I left.
I missed out on Infected Mushroom and Paramore this year, which I would have seen if there weren't scheduling conflicts.
Zola Jesus and Evangelista were my favorite shows with Whartscape being my favorite event. i saw normally one or two opening bands at each of these shows if someone wants to figure out how many bands i saw.
~52 shows counting each day of the festivals as one show. well over 100 bands. neat!

Really bad year for concerts for me...not that I have good years. I went to a local Bluegrass festival this year and that's it. I usually hit up DMB every year but this year they decided not to play at Nissan Pavilion so I didn't catch him this year.
