Live Nation Canada is introducing History, a new live entertainment venue, that will open its doors later this year. Live Nation collaborated with Canadian and Global Icon Drake on the venue to curate a premiere entertainment experience.

Now I have to admit, while I like the Arkells, I never jumped on the buzz-worthy bandwagon that a lot of my peers seem to have. Arkells are solid. They bring energy to every show. They even get political sometimes, and their “Ode to the Whistleblower” is a pretty powerful tune. And much like Glorious Sons (who are coming to the K-Rock Centre in February 2018), the commercial radio/university campus buzz/Canadian indie support for them is not only noticeable but frankly hard to miss.

The Nominees Are…

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.

It’s hard to believe we’re already coming to an end of the 2016 edition of RBC Bluesfest. It feels like just yesterday that the lineup was announced and yet here we are going into the final day!

With another year of Juno’s in the history books the thought occurred to me last night that, well for one, Canadian Country Music is not very well represented at the awards that are supposed to represent the best of Canada and, for two, Canadian Country is all but absent on the international scene, or at least south of the border.

So.. As I was browsing the World Wide Web tonight and came across something rather odd when I was googling Wayhome 2016…Now I know last year Wayhome had a pretty cool cryptic way of letting people know about the festival.  Is this possibly a way they are leaking there own headliner, or maybe just a hint?

Now take a closer look…at the //Young Money, Cash Money.  Now I have been so deep in the country world the last couple years but I do know that is the name of Lil’ Wayne’s company that just so happens to have Drake under its banner.

So….Could Drake and Lil’Wayne be headed to Wayhome 2016?  Things have been quiet so heck why not stir the pot and start putting our thinking caps on to who is going to rock the Wayhome stages in 2016. What do you think?  Are we reaching?  Or do you think this has any merit?  Let us know what you think.

Is the Home Town boy (Drake) coming home to play this summers Wayhome 2016?

Is Lil’ Wayne headed to Burls Creek in 2016 for Wayhome?
