Electric Island – As the number one open-air concert + picnic series across Canada, the festival quickly earned its reign as the best of the best producing five events over the course of each summer, showcasing renowned international artists, taking place on the picturesque Hanlan’s Point, Toronto Islands. Stepping into its seventh season, be sure to save the dates for: Sunday, May 19th, Saturday, June 22nd, Saturday, August 10th, and a two-day festival season finale on Saturday August 31, and Sunday, September 1st. Electric Island holds a piece of magic as it represents a true summer romance, as we come together again for the love of dance music we present to you, the May 19th Season Opener lineup.
With spring in the air, Electric Islanders will voyage across Lake Ontario to Hanlan’s Point island, in anticipation. Once they step foot onto the island, the music from the Main Stage will permeate through the grassy walkway, leading guests to the sounds of bonafide industry veteran Dubfire, Berlin masterminds ÂME (DJ Set), the burgeoning Brooklyn pair Bedouin, who have come to embody the deeper, desert-inspired music, Detroit’s ‘Women on Wax’ founder DJ Minx, and Toronto favourites Jonathan Rosa, and Carerra & Tavares.
The Moog Audio Stage will host Canadian record label Rawthentic with a special showcase, featuring a fire back-to-back set with Toronto’s very own tech-house titans and [Rawthentic] label founders Carlo Lio and Nathan Barato, ‘house gangster’ and purveyor of jackin’ beats DJ Sneak, the sultry sounds of Puerto-Rican-born, Berlin-based Caleb Calloway, and finally Chicago house hero DJ Deeon, who’s best known for his all-night marathon sets and hedonistic disco! There you have it! The season opener is not to be missed, so dust off those dancing shoes, and get ready for season seven! Limited single early bird passes are now on sale! Stay tuned for the Electric Island Season lineup announcements coming soon.
