Dizzy at The Danforth Music Hall - Concert Photos

Oshawa, Ontario indie pop band Dizzy released their third album, the eponymously titled Dizzy, this past summer. I attended the Toronto stop on the tour promoting that album, and it took place at one of my favourite Toronto venues, The Danforth Music Hall. 

Dizzy has become one of my favourite bands ever since I first saw them at Hillside Festival in 2016. This show marks the eleventh time we’ve covered a live Dizzy show here at one in ten words. Links to all of our Dizzy show coverage are below.

Over the course of their set, they played every song on the new Dizzy album. They started their set with "Birthmark" and "Twist", "Roman Candles" and "The Magician". Later on, they shifted into the acoustic portion of the show including their "stupid happy love song" "Stupid 4 U". The set continued, with highlights including "Barking Dog", "Sunflower", "Open Up Wide" and show closer "Close". They only played one song from their debut album, Baby Teeth, the ever-popular “Joshua”. They don't do encores, which is fine with me and I'm sure most of the audience.

Dizzy did a great job performing on the larger stage, with platforms for guitarist, bassist and drummer, and the rest of the stage reserved for Katie to roam. Candles around the stage lent a warm vibe, and the light show brought excitement and drama as needed.

Dizzy are an amazing band with beautiful songs; a band that I will witness live any time I can. 

Ottawa's fanclubwallet opened the show. My pics from their set are right here.

Check out all our previous photos of Dizzy from Riverfest Elora, The Phoenix Concert Theatre, Bridgeworks, Royal Mountain Records BBQ, The Mod Club, Wolfe Island Winter Ball, Royal Mountain Records Festival, their Baby Teeth Release Party, Field Trip and Hillside.

Here’s a tune from Dizzy, “Open Up Wide”

Riverfest Elora 2022: A compendium of posts - Concert Photos

The fine folks at Riverfest Elora mentioned that it's been 1,097 days since Riverfest 2019. How awesome was that festival? It was in the before-times, when we thought we had a lot to worry about, but we didn't even have a clue what was coming. *sigh*

I was so happy to have Riverfest Elora back in full form for 2022! The lineup was fantastic and it was so good to be back in Elora, back in Bissell Park, getting to hear music coming from these beloved stages and getting to hang out with friends I haven't seen since the last Riverfest.

While many things were the same, there were some changes this year. We got upgraded lights for the Koop and Grassland Stages. Awesome! And there was one significant absence in the food vendors this year; there was no mac n' cheese and pulled pork. I loved it and was looking forward to this special treat I only get at Riverfest. Maybe next year.

You can get to my coverage of each individual act I witnessed this year through the hyperlinks below. Each post has photos, a few words of thoughts on the band and some of their music.

Hope you enjoy!

Riverfest Elora 2022: Dizzy - Concert Photos

Dizzy are one of my favourite bands and I lit up when I saw their name on the Riverfest Elora line-up. They're from Oshawa and they play dreamy pop tunes with great melodies and hooks, relatable lyrics and passion.

They experienced some technical difficulties at the start of their set, but got going after a few minutes with their first hit, "Stars and Moons". Their set continued with "Twist", "Roman Candles", "Pretty Thing", "The Magician", "Backstroke", "Swim" and "Sunflower". So great to hear these songs in the Riverfest Elora environment. 

Links to all my Riverfest Elora 2022 coverage can be found in one post right here. There's a post for each artist I captured this year.

Dizzy was a late addition as the opening act for Wet Leg at The Phoenix Concert Theatre. I was pretty happy with that because I love Dizzy and haven't seen them in quite a while. 

Of course, they put on a great show. It was a cool set, including many of my favourites like "Sunflower", "Pretty Thing", "Stars and Moons", and "Roman Candles". Sooooooo good to see a Dizzy show again and hopefully they'll have some new music on the way for us soon.

My pics of Wet Leg are here.

With pandemic restrictions lifting, Dizzy headed out on the road for their Spill My Guts tour. Sarah Ordean was at their Hamilton show at Bridgeworks and captured these photos. The band put on an energetic show with great stage presence. Dizzy always delivers a magical show.

Dizzy is one of our favourite bands, and we've captured them many times. Check out all our previous photos of Dizzy from Royal Mountain Records BBQ, The Mod Club, Wolfe Island Winter Ball, Royal Mountain Records Festival, their Baby Teeth Release Party, Field Trip and Hillside.

Ada Lea opened up the show with a chill set.
