Now we all know where the best music in the world is coming from right now. [LA, Brooklyn, Baltimore, Ed] No need to hide it here; let's just give Canada all the acclaim it deserves. (insert acclaim here). Hell, let's go one step further and bring over a bunch of them for an all Canadian music festival! Oh wait, somebody is already doing that. How a-boot it! I know, I just had to throw that in. But anyway.
Here is the skinny. Said shindig is called Le Guess Who Festival and it is going down next weekend, 30 Nov and 1 Dec at the Tivoli in Utrecht, just outside of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Utrecht is beautiful, worth a visit regardless, so really, this is a bonus.
The list of performers:
Miracle Fortress Hot Hot Heat Caribou Black Mountain MSTRKRFT Lightning Dust Young Galaxy Julie Doiron
Tickets are here through Ticketmaster and all the information, albeit in Dutch but easy enough to interpret, is located at the festival site, Le Guess Who.nl.
Go big or go home, indeed. Should be FUN.
