Hope you weren’t planning on doing things like “working” and “studying” in June, because the month is so jam packed with musical gloriousness that the FOMO will be a daily struggle. We’ve got Australian superstar DJ Flume playing back-to-back shows (the same night), our favourite Swedish electro weirdoes Little Dragon making a much welcomed return to our beautiful city, Shamir making his Montreal debut, and UK radio kingpins Clean Bandit finally blessing us with their presence.
