3rd Annual Olympic Island Concert line-up announced

Woo-hoo! The 3rd Annual Olympic Island Music Festival goes on sale this week. This is a terrific day out, watching a day-long festival on Olympic Island (Centre Island ferry) set against the backdrop of the Toronto skyline. I've gone to the first 2 festivals, and it's a great way to see a concert, especially if you aren't a "concert in a club" type of person.

Bring a blanket, some food, some drinks (security was pretty relaxed as long as it wasn't glass - some guy had a hookah pipe system set up last year) and claim a patch of grass to lay down on. Looks like a stellar line-up, so come out and we'll make a day of it.

Once again curated by Broken Social Scene, on June 24th Toronto's Olympic Island will host its third summer Olympic Island Music Festival. The incredible day of music thus far includes:

BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE
