The fine folks at Canadian Beats asked me to come along and cover Osheaga with them. The chance to attend and photograph the biggest festival of my experience was one I couldn't turn down. In spite of the rain, I had a great time and would cover the festival again in a heartbeat. I loved the overall vibe of the festival, the amazing performers and I always love Montreal.
The full coverage is over at Canadian Beats. Their recap of the festival is here, the day two post is here and the full Facebook album is here.
Here's a collection of other photos that I took on Day 2 of Osheaga 2017.

A long time ago I saw and heard a great performance by Grouplove at Toronto's Danforth Music Hall.
They deliver such great energy and intensity to a very enthusiastic crowd. You know the energy level's high when they crowd surf in the second song. Just remember, as they said, Grouplove is about art smoking weed and being nice to people. Amen to that.
In addition to their amazing tunes and ceaseless energy, they had a killer light show. And they played The Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" with a snippet-flash of Led Zeppelin. Nice to hear them absolutely scream out that tune.
Check out some of my favourites from their set. So many amazing tunes.
"Itchin' on a Photograph"
"Tongue Tied"
"Do You Love Someone" really got everyone bouncing
"Shark Attack"
They gave an inspirational speech before the set ended with "Welcome to your Life"
Their encore ended with the big one-two punch of "Ways to Go" and "Colours"
