Who to see at Canadian Music Week
The music season officially begins tonight with the CMW kick off party at Tattoo where a lucky few get to see M.I.A. up close and personal. Next week on Tuesday Canadian Music Week begins in full swing.
So you have your wristband, an unlimited amount of energy (possibly packed into a few cans of Red Bull), and a hand-full of friends, but who do you see? With 60 participating venues and at least 5 sets per night spread over five days it might be hard to make your pick.
As an annual tradition, and solution, we’ll share with your our day by day CMW wish:
