Canadian Music Fest 2012! Recommendations…

22 Mar

Hey Everyone,

If you are a music fan you will most likely be attending some Canadian Music Fest events. As you know, there are hundreds of artists in town and it is often hard to pick a venue or an act to go see since so many great performances are happening at the same time. I am going to offer some suggestions here, but I encourage you to do some of your own research or maybe just go out to a venue you like and wait to see who hits the stage. But whatever you do, discover something. See bands you didn’t know existed, explore different venues, speak to people you come into contact with. Have fun, be safe, and enjoy!

Also, just a quick tip: Popular venues (Horseshoe, Rivoli, Wrongbar, etc.) will fill up fast! So get there early and plan to stay. If you are showing up for a later performance, expect to wait in line for a bit.
