Night two of CityFolk transported fans back in time to a different era—full of flowing hair, elaborate costumes, and five-minute guitar solos.
Greta Van Fleet were one of the biggest acts on the bill this year, bringing a nostalgia-fuelled set for the old heads but with modern twists for everyone. With epics such as “The Archer” and hits like “Highway Tune,” the band played a blistering set with plenty of riffs and pyrotechnics.
Opening the night on the main stage was Charlie Edward, the London-based rocker, with a confident stage presence and the solos to back it up.
The tent stage held true to the festival’s name, with a full lineup of folk. Fred Eaglesmith bounced around a catalogue that has spanned over 45 years and more than 20 albums.
Montreal’s Jacob River Milnes blended bluesy rock & roll with a touch of country, and had the audience hooked from the first note.
Opening the night was The Tennessee Cree, who mixed folk and traditional Cree songs backed by several fiddles, producing a sound that was both unique and fun.
