Camp Wavelength
If you’re unable to catch Deerhoof at one of their opening dates for Red Hot Chili Peppers in Hamilton, Ottawa or Montreal, you’re in luck. The surreal art-rockers are headlining the third annual Camp Wavelength festival. The three-day event, which takes place August 18 to 20 at Artscape Gibraltar Point on the Toronto Islands, has a rep as one of the more relaxed, community-centric stops on the local summer festival circuit. Buzz Records rockers Dilly Dally and Hamiltonian electronic music staple Jessy Lanza are the other big names on the bill. The lineup also includes Rich Aucoin, Datu x Hataw, DJ Shub, Duchess Says, Emilie & Ogden, the Luyas, Un Blonde, Bedroomer, Ice Cream, Slowpitchsound, M.I. Blue, Os Tropies, Zuze, Loji, Witch Prophet, Exit Someone, Can You Feel It?18 and Germaphobes.
Festival passes start at $64.99, camping passes are $159.99 and lodge passes cost $529.99 for a double-occupancy room (including two-festival passes). Camping and lodge passes are 19+, but regular admission is all ages and children under 12 get in free. Single-day tickets go on sale in June. wavelengthmusic.ca.
