MILK & BONE, YONATAN GAT, CADENCE WEAPON, FET.NAT, ART D’ECCO, TALLIES, HUA LI, ANTHEMS OF THE VOID & MORE TBA
Following a long-standing tradition of Camp Wavelength and the ALL CAPS! Island Festival, Toronto’s non-profit independent music hub Wavelength Music celebrates summer in the city with the newest incarnation of its August festival, the warm-weather flipside of its beloved winter fest. With a musical mainstage weather-protected inside the Belgian Moon Brewery and additional programming on the grounds of stackt, Wavelength offers a new, intimate, and accessible take on the summer music-festival experience.
“Space for creativity is at an all-time premium in Toronto,” says Jonathan Bunce, Artistic Director of Wavelength Music. “It’s our hope that by finding a home for Wavelength @ stackt, we’ll be able to create a new hub for emerging music and the arts in our city – for one amazing weekend, at least.”
The musical programming at the Wavelength Summer Music & Arts Festival continues Wavelength’s 19 year track record of championing diversity and inclusivity in the musical underground. The first wave of artists announced include Milk & Bone (Montreal dream-pop duo & 2019 Juno electronic award winners), Cadence Weapon (Canadian hip-hop icon), Art D’Ecco (Vancouver glam-rock dance-pop), Tallies (Toronto indie-pop sensations ), and Hua Li (Montreal R&B & revolutionary rap) as part of the Saturday line up with Yonatan Gat (New York surf-jazz guitar wizard touring w/ guest Indigenous drummers Red Medicine and Strong Bear), Fet.Nat (Quebec dance-punk absurdists), and Anthems of the Void (Toronto/New York improv/avant-rock trio) on Sunday, August 18! The complete musical line-up and daily schedule will be announced in July, along with multi-arts, comedy and other programming at wavelengthmusic.ca and on social media @wavelengthmusic. Visual and inter-disciplinary artists are encouraged to apply online until June 21 at Β 5 p.m.
