Riverfest Elora 2019: Day 2: Darcys - Concert Photos

Back in 2017, Darcys played in the Koop Tent at Riverfest Elora. This year, they were on the main stage. The duo brings tons of groove and good vibes along with musical touchpoints of disco, yacht rock and the 80s wrapped with visual elements like neon lights, animal prints and palm trees. Bitchin’

I’ve covered the band a number of times over the years. There’s that 2017 Riverfest set, their Wayhome for the Holidays set in 2016, a performance with their newly-unveiled 80s vibe at The Mod Club, their 2014 performance at Indie 88’s First Birthday at The Opera House with their original line-up and the first time I saw them live, at Field Trip back in 2014.

If you’re not already familiar with Darcys, make sure to check out some tunes below.

All of my Riverfest Elora 2019 posts can be accessed from one master post here. I hope you'll take a look and a listen.

Riverfest Elora 2017: A compendium of posts - Concert Pictures

We need the collective joy of music and music festivals more now than ever. In many ways, we live in the best time in human history. In other ways, the world's as messed up as it's ever been and some are even doubling-down on the crazy. Music brings me joy, it uplifts my soul and it fills me with hope and happiness. I try to capture the mood and fun of a show with my photography and bring it to you, patient readers and viewers of this site. Festivals are a great way to collect with like-minded humans, listen so some of our favourite music, eat some great food, enjoy some weather and discover some new favourite artists.

This post is a collection of links to all the posts from this year's Riverfest Elora. I hope you'll spend some time browsing through the posts, checking out the photos and listening to the music. I hope it'll bring you back to the festival, or make you wish you were there and hopefully it'll turn you on to some great new music.

Thanks goes to everyone involved in Riverfest Elora for the joy and happiness you bring each year. I'm already counting down to next year and can't wait to see what you put together in terms of another fantastic line-up and amazing vibes.

The Darcys. They've got everything: neon lights, bright coloured outfits, danceable beats, huge hooks, 80s references, Miami Vice influences, ferns, tropical vibes, illuminated palm trees, an inflatable flamingo. They are a recipe for a fun live show.

They headlined the Koop stage at Riverfest Elora and had an excited crowd lap up every beat, hip sway and bit of musical sunshine.

I've caught them before, click, click and click if you want to see shots from those shows.

And don't miss out on their addictive tunes:

"Miracle"

"Arizona Hwy"

"San Diego, 1988"

"Coming Up For Air"

Riverfest Elora announces 2017 line-up: MGMT, Monster Truck, Gogol Bordello, Mother Mother, K.Flay, Sloan, The Dirty Nil, Darcys, Shred Kelly, Little Scream and more...

I loved my time at Bissell Park in Elora Ontario last August. Riverfest Elora was a fantastically run and curated festival with an amazing crowd of music lovers, incredible bands, great food and an idlic location. You can check out all the pics of all the bands and all my coverage from 2016 here.

This year's festival looks just as good, if not better, with amazing artists like MGMT, Monster Truck, Gogol Bordello, Mother Mother, K.Flay, Sloan, The Dirty Nil, Darcys, Shred Kelly, Little Scream and many that are sure to become new favourites as I experience them.

Here are some photos of some of the artists playing this year's Riverfest that I've captured in the past, plus some of my favourite shots from last year. Do yourself a favour and don't miss this great festival. All the details are here.

The full line-up is:
