WHEN: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 3 & MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2017
It’s hard to believe that we’re already approaching the 2017 season finale of Toronto’s Electric Island festival series! On Sunday, September 3and Monday, September 4, House and Techno purveyors will celebrate the Labour Day long weekend at Electric Island’s original home, as we’re back at Hanlan’s Point! Fans, artists and staff alike can agree — it’s good to be home! Especially when it comes with a stacked line-up of international talent for a 2 day back-to-back special.
In alphabetical order, Electric Island warmly welcomes Dirty Bird ambassador Claude VonStroke, a name that’s become synonymous with techno – CLR boss Chris Liebing, Montreal’s electronic act CRi, arguably the biggest name in dance music – it’s Innervisions co-founder Dixon, the UK’s incredible electronic duo Dusky, All Day I Dream frequenter Gab Rhome, Australia’s rising star Mall Grab, Canada’s beloved techno duoMy Favorite Robot, No.19 co-founder Nitin, Australian House icon and Defected habitué Sonny Fodera, Crew Love members and day-time vibersSoul Clap, Cocoon honcho Sven Väth, the highly respected and vocal Chicago-native The Black Madonna, and last but not least, Finnish producer and Anjunadeep regular Yotto.
It wouldn’t be Electric Island without some bona fide local love! On warm-up duties will be Brian Johnson, Jamie Kidd, Jeff Button, Koki, Sam Haze, Simon Jain and Terence Kissner. Arrive early to support your troops, because there’s no better way to get the party started than with a proper fam-jam.
