Winter has arrived, but with it comes fresh optimism for a new year along with more announcements for 2020’s music festivals than we’d expect, Shivering Songs and Cavendish Beach Music Festival have both delved into their lineups, and Folly Fest has a whole new director.
We have festival news of our own – with The East’s Golden Ticket 2020 well underway. We’re giving away not one, but two passes to all the best festivals in Atlantic Canada. Check out our Facebook for more details.
In the meantime, here’s everything we covered in November, 2019.
