2012 marks the 12th Anniversary of Toronto’s Wavelength Music Series. The massively influential concert series had its humble beginnings at Ted’s Wrecking Yard in February of the year 2000, but it quickly became ground zero for the independent music explosion which brought the likes of Broken Social Scene, Constantines, Holy Fuck, Feist, Peaches, Caribou and Fucked Up to the world.  

TWELVE: The Wavelength 12th Anniversary will mark another fantastic installment of Toronto’s finest curated music festivals, each night’s line-up rolling out like a thoughtfully compiled mixtape.

ABOUT WAVELENGTH Every year, Wavelength celebrates its birthday with a multi-night music festival, taking place at a different venue each night. In 2010, Wavelength turned 10 and threw the hugely successful Wavelength 500 Festival, which marked its 500th show and also the epic conclusion of its weekly Sunday night series. In the two years since then, Wavelength has successfully transformed its series into a monthly, mobile arts platform exploring new performance spaces beyond the traditional club circuit.
