CBC Music Festival announces 2020 lineup

It’s almost time for CanCon summer, and CBC Music Festival is here with the all-Canadian lineup for its eighth edition. Indie rock lifers Metric get top billing, and they’ll be joined by fellow indie rock acts Half Moon Run, Dizzy and Geoffroy, pop artist Lights and Indigenous composer Jeremy Dutcher. A nice lineup, if a bit safe.

Things get a bit more interesting on the Q stage, where hip-hop acts Snotty Nose Rez Kids and this year’s Polaris Prize winner Haviah Mighty will join the yet-to-be-announced winner of CBC’s Searchlight contest (interestingly, Polaris founder Steve Jordan was recently announced as the new director of CBC Music). There’s also children’s programming and an emerging artists stage featuring Tanika Charles and Tedy.

May 30 at Echo Beach (909 Lake Shore West), doors 1:30 pm, all ages. $39.50. On sale March 6. TM.
