10 Don’t Miss Bands at Indie Week 2018

With Indie Week just days away from taking over Toronto, we’re getting more and more ready to go.

To get you ready, we’ve put together a list of 10 hot acts that we think you should take the opportunity to see between November 6 and 10.

Some of these acts we’ve seen before and loved to the point that we’re telling you to go see them. Others have caught our attention online and through recommendations, and we can’t wait to see their live shows.

We’ve pulled the genre listings from each act’s Facebook page, which offers some fun, and includes rock, pop, country, indie and more.

These artists are Canadian, Scottish, and Latvian giving just a little taste of the worldwide talent that will be in Toronto for Indie Week.
