Hmmmm…who could it be…?

Halifax allocates $100,000 for mystery rock concert
Halifax municipal council voted Tuesday evening to spend $100,000 on a rock concert set for Sept. 23, but the performers still haven’t been named, The Chronicle Herald newspaper reported.
So the Rolling Stones, rumoured headliners, may ó or may not ó make an appearance.
“I do not want to say anything to fuel the already wild speculation that is underway about which acts are expected,” Mayor Peter Kelly said.
But he did confirm that the city’s convention centre is talking to Donald K. Donald Promotions of Montreal. The promoter did not respond to calls from the paper.
The show “will be one of the largest events we’ve held,” Kelly said.
The city money will pay for extra policing and the cleanup.
Council met in closed session, which angered two councillors who said the talks should have been open to the public because taxpayers are paying.
