Toronto — Toronto Urban Roots Festival (TURF), downtown Toronto’s boutique summer roots music festival, returns to the city’s Historic Fort York Common with forty-six bands on three outdoor stages spanning three days and nights – September 18th-20th. This year’s headliners include Wilco, Of Monsters And Men, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, The Avett Brothers, UB40, Built to Spill, Fishbone and Neko Case. The entire Friday line-up is now available and more artists are set to be announced.
As part of the TURF weekend, TURF will present the annual Club Bonus Series at the Horseshoe Tavern and at Lee’s Palace (celebrating 30 years of live music!) fromSeptember 16 through 21. Full weekend VIP Plus pass holders can enjoy intimate performances from TURF artists and three day pass holders will have a chance to win tickets to these special performances.
In addition to fantastic national and international bands, TURF will shine the spotlight on the Toronto-area’s amazing depth of talent throughout the weekend with it’s “ARTISTS FROM TORONTO” focus. Each stage at the festival will kick off daily with performances from artists who call Toronto home.
