Last year I attended Heavy Montreal for the first time, and was completely blown away. It quickly became my favorite destination festival in North America, and judging by the bands they lined up for this year's festivities I'm about to have equally amazing time this year. Heavy Montreal will be held at Parc Jean-Drapeau on August 7, 8 and 9 and passes will be available for sale this Friday! Pick up your tix and come join the fun.
What an amazing and eclectic range of bands. Slipknot & Ihsahn? Faith No More & Pig Destroyer? Andrew W.K. & Insomnium? Korn & Gorguts? Meshuggah & Deafheaven? Gojira & Dokken!? Color me stoked.
