We’ve been mentioning it all month, but now we are officially into JUNO weekend! Toronto has the honour of hosting the 40th JUNO Awards, and JUNO Fest will get the big event started on the right foot with two nights of over 100 bands playing at 20 different venues around the city.

Purchase a wristband for $30 and get access to all JUNOFest shows (some shows are restricted to ages 19 and over), or get advanced tickets to individual JunoFest shows for $17.50 each. Participating artists include Bedouin Soundclash (all ages show), DJ Egypytrixx, D-Sisive, Hannah Georgas, Justin Rutledge, Said the Whale, The Planet Smashers (all ages show), and Whale Tooth. Venues include the Bovine Club, The Drake Hotel, El Mocambo, The Gladstone Hotel, Horseshoe Tavern Hugh’s Room, Lee’s Palace, Lula Lounge, Mod Club, Sneaky Dee’s, The Dakota Tavern and Phoenix Concert Theatre – where ever you are in Toronto, a place not to far from you is hosting a JUNOFest concert!
