Lollapalooza announce aftershows list for 2018
Aftershows are a tradition of Lollapalooza and a fan favourite, as artists every year fill different venues throughout Chicago before or after they perform at the festival itself. The 2018 edition will feature 55 performances from over 110 artists, in 16 different venues from Tuesday, July 31 to Sunday, August 5. This year acts who will be doing aftershows include CHVRCHES, Dua Lipa, Franz Ferdinand, The Wombats, Billie Eilish, and new addition to the Lollapalooza lineup Carly Rae Jepsen, just to name a few.
Chicago’s Lollapalooza is a lineup worth taking a roadtrip for
A spectacle. To sum it up, Lollapalooza is an event that brings music lovers from across North America to more than a just another music festival, but to an experience. Taking place in Grant Park on the shores of Lake Michigan in Chicago from August 2-5, 2018, this four day event will be one for the summer. With no Wayhome festival this summer, those in Southern Ontario or anywhere else for that matter will want to look into taking a road trip down to Chicago for an even bigger festival.
Home Sweet WayHome!
It was a sweltering weekend in Oro-Medonte and the weather wasn’t the only thing that was hot. With an attendance upwards of 40,000 people (a 5,000 person increase from last years inaugural event) WayHome was the place to be.

Ottawa Bluesfest – Week in Review
It’s hard to believe that the event that I’ve been anticipating all year is already halfway through. It feels like just yesterday that the Full Flex Express rolled into town kicking off what would be an incredible 11 days of live entertainment along the Ottawa River. New to our coverage this year is the addition of Sean Sisk, our new resident event photographer extraordinaire in the Ottawa region. Sean’s incredible pictures will appear throughout my reviews and allow me to focus on the music and our social media coverage instead of trying to get the perfect shot.

While researching for a preview piece leading up to tomorrow’s believed 2015 line-up announcement for RBC Royal Bank Ottawa Bluesfest I came across the 2015 Ottawa Bluesfest website via a Google search. Based on information we had been told leading up to today there were enough constancies to make us believe this is was the real thing. ***Update: The information below was confirmed by an official announcement by Ottawa Bluesfest posted at the bottom of this article***
