On what was a gloomy Monday night, those willing to make the trek out to the Hard Rock Casino were well-rewarded by a performance for the ages from rocker Yungblud. His growth as an artist and performer from his 2019 Bluesfest set is staggering, and the sky is the limit for the English singer.
It’s rare to find a record shop with two locations on one street, but it works for The Record Centre. Since Apt613’s last feature on the record centre, the store’s popularity has only grown.
Naledi is the first musician to be part of the Talking Albums collaboration with Apt613. Each episode, on the Apt613 YouTube channel, will feature a local musician talking about themselves, their music and six special albums of their choice.
Walking into the Canadian Tire Centre, there were fans of all ages, cowboy hats side by side with casual concert‑goers, streaming in. The opening acts–Chase Matthew, Alana Springsteen, and Karley Scott Collins–had already warmed up the crowd, laying down a mix of energy, charm, and strong vocals that primed Ottawa for what was to come.
‘The hardest working band’ is a term often thrown around for bands that tour extensively. And often times, it’s misdirected at large-scale bands with dozens or even hundreds of roadies and staff making them look and sound good. But if you want a chance to see a band that would actually be deserving of that title, head to the Bronson Centre Saturday for Toronto’s alt rockers The Dirty Nil.
On Wednesday night, the Korn: Kanada Tour 2025 kicked off at the Canadian Tire Centre, with Loathe opening, Gojira in the mid‑slot, and Korn closing the night.

It’s looking like Mother Nature is going to go three for three on perfect weather days for the festival. And while there won’t be any rain to dampen spirits, a lack of meat just might (more on that below).
One of the standouts from last year’s CityFolk was Kitchener’s Softcult. The sibling duo made their debut opening for The Beaches and the number of festival goers who had their phones out searching who this band is surely means they made plenty of new fans that day. But who are Softcult?
A perfect start, with perfect weather last night, Day 2 looks to be just as inviting. While Wednesday’s lineup featured a few TikTok stars, tonight’s main stage is dedicated to a trio of artists that predate Facebook.
