What Happened @ WTFest #WTFest17

 

Last weekend we travelled to Brantford to WTFest.  As mentioned in our WTFest contest post we were very excited to see Our Lady Peace perform once again. 

 

It was a bright sunny day perfect for a music festival and we received the VIP treatment at the concert.

#TeamCabana @wtfestca #WTFest #WTFest17 #Brantford #Brantastic

A post shared by Diane Morgan & Lisa McDonald (@those2girls) on Jul 31, 2017 at 7:15am PDT

 

We were really surprised by the amount of local talent that kicked off the day and you can say we are now fans of the group named HARBOUR.

 

That wasn’t the only surprise that day.  Bands like Soul Asylum, Treble Charger and Tonic took to the stage playing their biggest hits of the 90s, but the best surprise was Collective Soul’s RUN.

First the band was joined on stage by Tonic’s Emerson Hart

 

Then they finished the song off stage in a huddle.  How amazing was that?

Off stage party with our buds @tonicbandofficial but the crowd was still with us! #collectivesoul #tonic

A post shared by Jesse Triplett (@jessetriplett) on Jul 30, 2017 at 4:04am PDT

 

Later the act we all came to see took to the stage.

Once we thought all the surprises of the day had happened, Our Lady Peace announced that they have a new album coming out this month!

One of our winners was so excited she had to show off her WTFest and OLP swag from the concert.

We have to say WTFest is aptly named as you never know what surprises are in store for you once you arrive!

Our Lady Peace, Collective Soul, Soul Asylum and More Head To #WTFest In Brantford Ontario – Enter To Win

We'll start with the Disclaimer - Yes we did receive complimentary tickets, but this just means we're able to offer you a chance attend too! Enter the contest at the end of this post!

 

Many of our readers know that we are big fans of Our Lady Peace and have been to their concerts here in Southern Ontario on more than one occasion.  Next week they take the stage at WTFest in Brantford Ontario along with Collective Soul, Soul Asylum, Treble Charger, Tonic and more!

It all takes place Saturday July 29^th at Lions Park in Brantford.  There is even a second stage to see up and coming bands perform.
