CMW 2017’s lineup is stacked, with Earl Sweatshirt, Wolf Parade, Sebadoh and Allie X: just announced Toronto shows

CMW

Earl Sweatshirt, Wolf Parade, Japanese Breakfast, Allie X, Ought’s Tim Darcy, the Luyas and Sebadoh have joined this year’s Canadian Music Week lineup.

The annual festival and music industry conference will mark Los Angeles rapper Earl Sweatshirt’s first gig in town in almost two years. (He was scheduled to play Echo Beach last August but the show was cancelled.) Meanwhile, Montreal indie rockers Wolf Parade are returning to town a year after they sold out five consecutive nights at Lee’s Palace.

Other shows added to the six-day festival’s bill include a handful that are being co-promoted (and thus separately ticketed): A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Good Charlotte, Hopsin, Ria Mae, Xavier Omar and Infected Mushroom.

Promoter Dan Burke is also bringing one of his favourite acts, Japanese garage rockers Zoobombs, to play the Silver Dollar one more time before that long-running rock club closes in the spring to make way for construction of a residential building. Burke has been bringing the group to Toronto for years, and in 2001 they released a live album that was recorded at the El Mocambo while Burke was the booker there.

As usual, Toronto bands are well represented this year: Vallens, TOBi, the Wooden Sky, Danko Jones, Frigs, Twist, Casper Skulls, Pony, the Beaches, Beliefs, Featurette and Charlotte Cornfield. The CMW lineup already includes two shows at Mod Club by local soul singer Charlotte Day Wilson, plus Hollerado, Duchess Says, Weaves, Melissa Etheridge, High Valley, Chaz Bundick Meets The Mattson 2, Julia Jacklin, River- Town Saints, Greys, Hoan and Haviah Mighty.

April 18-23 at various venues. Passes $75-$150. cmw.net/music, ticketmaster.ca.
