The Calgary Folk Music Festival, which takes place this weekend, has many people very excited. But not everyone. See, while fans of acoustic guitars and pleasant melodies are gently swaying in Prince's Island Park, Calgary's metalheads will be headbanging, moshing, slamdancing, and biting the heads off bats. Ozzy Osbourne's Monsters of Rock Festival thrashes its way over to McMahon Stadium this weekend, boasting a lineup that will excite any lover of the loud stuff. The festival is headlined by Ozzy himself, but it’s the supporting cast that's so impressive: Judas Priest, Testament, Hatebreed, Shadows Fall, Serj Tankian and Voidod, just to name a few. Folk or metal, the choice is yours.
