Canadian Music Week has officially announced their festival programming and line up for 2015 and we have to say, we’re pretty impressed. CMW has been getting a bad rep for a few years now with NXNE blowing them out of the water, but this year they’ve surprised with a new direction spanning ten days long with over 1000 bands at over 60 venues across Toronto.
The headliners for this year include The Jesus and Mary Chain, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, and Billy Talent, and other notable bands include Cloud Nothings, Kiesza, GoldLink, LIGHTS, FIDLAR, Twin Peaks, Humans, and King Tuff. The festival will also feature the lottery again which gives wristband holders a chance to guarantee admittance into the larger shows, making it easier for them to plan their time.
Check out the full line up for the festival below which will take place from May 1st to 10th.
