Day one of Bestival Toronto was hot, sunny and full of amazing people, music and great vibes. Photographer Roy Cohen made these pics of some of the incredible artists that performed on June 11.
Jamie xx, perhaps best known as a member of The xx, performed on the main stage of Bestival Toronto on the first day of the festival. The crowd got dancing to his tunes as the sun heated up the park. For me, the highlight was "Loud Places" featuring the unmistakable and gorgeous voice of his xx cohort, Romy.
Bestival Toronto takes place on the weekend of June 11-12. That's coming up quick so either start getting excited or get out and get yourself some tickets.
This year's line-up features amazing acts including The Cure, Tame Impala, Odesza, Grimes, Jamie XX, Porter Robinson, Madeon, Tchami, Daughter, Joris Voorn, The Wombats, Swim Deep, Skylar Spence, and The Twilight Sad.

This year's fest features a change in location from last year at the Toronto Islands to this year at Woodbine Park, ensuring easier access to and from the festival grounds. Bestival also features, "a wonderland of fun beyond the music, including the Bollywood Temple, our Costume Party and Parade, the Bestival Inflatable Church, circus troupes, Day of the Dead cocktail bus, marching bands, Sunday Best Balearic Bar and much, much more."
