Despite the sunny skies ramping the temperatures even higher today, the crowds were noticeably larger in anticipation for the Day 4 final line up of James Barker Band, Midland and the Chief, Eric Church. For some, music is a religious experience and how fitting it was to be going to Church on Sunday.

Rain makes corn. Corn makes whiskey. Whiskey makes Toronto feel a little frisky!

Well, wasn’t that a night! Luke Bryan returned to Ontario for the first of two sold out shows at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre Friday night and he delivered in spades. The Kill The Lights Tour absolutely did kill it.
