Digital Dreams just got a whole lot better with these recent lineup additions

/

Yesterday the Digital Dreams Music Festival, set to take place on June 27th - 28th in Toronto, got a lot more interesting with a few key lineup additions. The most notable is that Porter Robinson will be bringing his live show to Ontario Place this summer. Recently playing at Coachella infront of massive crowds, Porter has honed his live show thanks to his solo tour last year and he's now ready to bring it to a festival stage. 

Gramatik has a unique style that will stand out from the rest and he has a lot of new tracks to show off thanks to his recently released album. Other additions include Monstercat's Pegboard Nerds, Toronto's own Carlo Lio and Greg Gow. 

Tickets are still available for Digital Dreams - for more information click below: 

Bestival coming to Toronto Islands this June

/

Bestival, a well established British festival, is heading to Toronto on June 12th - 13th, 2015. Set to take place at the Toronto Islands, the U.K festival is partnering with SFX (Tomorrowland, Sensation, etc) and Embrace. Here's what festival founder Rob da Bank said on how Bestival will be different than other North American festivals this summer: 

“No disrespect to the festivals in North America, but a lot of them are very much stages, bars, food tents,” Rob da Bank said. “This festival will look very different. It will have theatricality, ambition.”

To get a sense of what type of talent Bestival likes to book, check out this year's U.K lineup:

Bestival Toronto will hold up to 20,000 attendees a day, will you go? It seems to me that Bestival will be a direct competitor to the Electric Island series because of their similar bookings. Depending on how underground Digital Dreams decides to go in 2015, Bestival could also be in direct competition with them as well.

The summer festival season is already heating up, and the more choice can mean only good things for fans as promoters up the stakes to earn your hard earned dollars.
