Republic Live, producers of WayHome Music & Arts have announced that the 2018 edition will be put on hold.

WayHome Music & Arts Festival organizers, Republic Live, have stepped in to offer a free General Admission  full weekend ticket to WayHome 2017 to all the people who purchased passes to Pemberton Music Festival, which was suddenly cancelled this week when the organizers filed for bankruptcy.

Republic Live, organizers of WayHome Music and Arts Festival are pleased to announce the 2017 line-up with headliners Imagine Dragons, Frank Ocean, and Flume. Music fans will once again have the opportunity to see some of the greatest musical acts, across all genres, share a stage at the custom-designed camping and festival grounds, Burl’s Creek Event Grounds, in Oro-Medonte from July 28-30.

At the end of last year I looked ahead to 2015 and made a bold prediction that it would be bigger with more interviews with bigger artists, more festivals, more events and more contests. I could never have predicted exactly how much bigger the year would actually be.

Dear Rouge is one of the hottest acts in Canada, and today they release the official music video for “Tongues”.  We were lucky enough to be on-set for the filming of this video this past June in Toronto at The Opera House.  If you missed Drew and Danielle at Ottawa Bluesfest or WayHome this summer we’ve learned that there will be a big tour announcement this Thursday, so stay tuned we’ll have all the details here!  In the meantime check out “Tongues”

You must know that we, here at Sound Check, are huge fans of Dear Rouge and I was thrilled to finally get to see them live at WayHome for myself. There was a great crowd for this amazing Canadian act and the rain that came, didn’t dampen any spirits.

WayHome Day 3

WayHome Day 3 was hot and sunny. This was the day I knew I was going to have issues covering everything I wanted to see. In the end, I didn’t get to see everyone I really wanted to, but a girl’s only human and food, water and rest are absolute requirements on a weekend like this one.

JULY 22,23,24 2016

Save the date, WayHome 2016, it’s going to be amazing!

Today I attended my first hip hop show. Thanks to WayHome and thank you Kendrick Lamar, tonight, you touched me and I wasn’t alone. The 30,000 plus crowd who gathered for the show were feeling it too. We waited patiently for Kendrick to take the stage and take it, he did. The crowd was putty in his hands from the second he stepped on stage, and he knew it.

A fantastic music filled, gorgeous Ontario day at the brand new Burl’s Creek Facility. If you were wondering if they could pull it off, they absolutely did.
