2019 will mark the 8th Anniversary of Boots and Hearts and our 7th year covering the event. As we get ready to kick off our Spring Into Festival Season promotion we thought it would be fun to explore a different side of Boots and Hearts, the family side.

Festival season is starting to heat up in 2019, and since 2011 The Governors Ball Music Festival has received a tremendous draw from all around North America. One of New York City’s biggest outdoor music festivals, The Governors Ball runs from May 31 to June 2, with concerts throughout the day and night, featuring headliners Tyler, The Creator, London’s Florence + The Machine, and local NYC indie rock legends The Strokes.

One of the best live bands in Ontario, 2019 CMAO “Music Video of The Year” nominees, and 2-Time Country Wild performers Kansas Stone join the 2019 Country Wild VIP Kick Off Party!!

Happy Green Acres is a campground and special events venue located near Brockville Ontario in the heart of the 1000 Islands. In the summer of 2018 the venue played host to 3 popular festivals and for 2019 the festivals have grown to 5.

The Montebello Rock team is happy to unveil the bands that will be providing the soundtrack to the Montebello rock party experience this year!  As promised, this first back to the roots edition will be reminiscent of the early years and will present 30 punk, metal and hardcore bands on June 14-15.
