With over 400 shows in 17 countries to their credit, the Half Moon Run phenomenon hasn’t stopped growing since the release of Dark Eyes in 2012 and the many prizes they’ve won (from Gala GAMIQ to l’ADISQ). Their distinctive fusion of rock, pop, folk and electronic has had this trio of multi-instrumentalists touring the most prestigious festivals of the world (from Reading to Glastonbury). Their second album, Sun Leads Me On, still features the distinctive voice of Devon Portielje and melodies that are as opulent as they are fearless. It’s no coincidence that this band is often compared to Radiohead, Broken Social Scene and Death Cab for Cutie.

First opening acts: Jesse Mac Cormack (7:00 PM) and Foreign Diplomats (8:00 PM)
