Preview: Edgefest ’12

Edgefest, hosted by 102.1 The Edge, returns to Downsview Park this Saturday, July 14, 2012.

The lineup should speak for itself, as there’s a lot to look forward to. We’re especially looking forward to Death From Above 1979 and Young The Giant over on the main stage, but we’ve seen almost all the bands on the side stage and all come highly recommended. Come early and stay the whole day!
