The Wavelength Summer Music Festival is an urban getaway like no other. It is an influential nonprofit independent music organization and concert series held in Toronto.
Wavelength Music presents two nights full of music, comedy, and art. It is easily accessible by transit, cycling or even on foot, and it offers up music, comedy, arts, activities and, of course, food and drinks. Wavelength 2019 will be a hidden oasis full of creativity and community.
Here are the top 5 experiences at the Wavelength Summer Music Festival.

The venue is different and makes the festival more intimate and immersive by providing an out of this world experience. The festival will provide an escape inside and outside of the walls of the shipping containers that make up stackt. The venue is Toronto’s newest space for creatives, where it is designed entirely out of shipping containers. At stackt, you’ll engage in new experiences, find new products and form new perceptions. Note that when you’re heading to the event, stackt is cashless, so make sure to bring your card!

For Wavelength, it has been a tradition to transform a local space into an urban oasis for music, art and community. They are taking over stackt for this year’s festival, and although it is held in an outdoor space, not to worry! The main stage will be held inside of a brewery! The stage will be weather-protected inside of the Belgian Moon Brewery, where they will be offering a variety of seasonal beers. Another great feature is that it will be air-conditioned, and who doesn’t want some fresh AC on a hot summer day?
