2016 Wavelength Music Festival

2016 Wavelength Music Festival

February 12–14, 2016

Wavelength Music warmed up winter with the 16th annual Wavelength Music Festival, which ran from February 12 to 14, 2016 in downtown Toronto. A live curated mixtape of the best NEW independent music coming out of Canada, #WL16 took over The Garrison for three nights, with the venue tranformed into a magical cloudland by artists Roxanne Ignatius and Aaron Dawson. “Take me to the main cloud,” said Duchess Says frontwoman Annie-Claude during their wonderfully destructive Saturday-night headlining set. Sackville, NB’s Partner played two sets during the fest, including an acoustic set during a Saturday afternoon all-ages show at the Markham House: City Building Lab. Other highlights included Clairmont the Second, Keita Juma, Pantayo, Beliefs, Montreal’s She-Devils and Foxtrott.
