Top Billin’
Gogol Bordello
The underground already had love for these Gypsy punks, but lead singer Eugene Hutz’s scene-stealing role in Everything Is Illuminated put them over the top.

Bang Camaro
You’ve heard arena rock bands before. You’ve never heard one bringing a full choir on stage with them, lifting their demonic riffs with the power of a heavenly chorus.

Attack In Black
After winning over the nation’s rock lovers with 2007’s well-received Marriage, these Welland, Ontario teens followed it up with the gorgeous, acoustic and bravely vinyl/download-only The Curve Of The Earth less than a year later.

KRS-One
From Boogie Down Productions to Stop The Violence and beyond, the MC born Kris Parker’s been repping for the culture since the dawn of hip-hop.

OPENING ACTS
The Weather Station
Sometimes delicate, at others starkly gothic, these locals bring an intensity to their banjo-driven indie-folk that belies its quietness

Young Rival
Garage rock is just a starting point for these harmony-loving Hamilton indie rockers who kick out the jams with originality and verve.

Khiasma
Long recognized as one of Montreal’s finest DJs, the man behind that city’s pan-genre Baile MTL parties brings his mixing flair and ear for a catchy cross-cultural fusion to shake up rock fans’ expectations.

Arkells
The latest signings by Dine Alone (City and Colour, Bedouin Soundclash), Arkells rock out with stadium-sized bombast married to a distinctly indie sensibility.
