After years of being envious of Europe for all its music festivals, it seems there's a big push in North America to have more weekend style festivals.
Just within a couple hours driving radius this summer, I could choose from:
-Hillside, Guelph
-Big Music Fest, Kitchener
-Riverfest, Elora
-Field Trip, Toronto
-NXNE, Toronto
-Bestival, Toronto
But with tickets for 2 big shows already this summer, and the costs inherent with going to Boston for one of them, I'm not sure if a festival is in the cards. Especially with lineups, that, while interesting, are nowhere near the caliber of Coachella, Lollapalooza, or Rock Werchter.
Riverfest will be my pick if I do decide I have more disposable income.
