The Virgin Festival in Calgary has established itself as one of the top rock festivals in the world. Since the first-ever Canadian Virgin Festival launched in Toronto in September 2006, around 100,000 music lovers have attended the popular festival. This year the Virgin Festival will rock two Canadian cities with Calgary being the first and then followed by Toronto on September 6 - 7, 2008 at the Toronto Island. The exclusive Gibson Tour Bus will be built into the overall stage and serve as an official artist jam area. Epiphone will provide the official auction guitars, signed by performers and captured by press. The guitars will later be auctioned via Virgin Unite which supports charities worldwide.
