Anyone have good Edgefest memories?
What I loved about the 90s were how many great festivals there were! Another Roadside Attraction, Lilith Fair, Edgefest - and this last one was my favourite. I think I went three times, and my favourite year was probably 1996 with bands like I Mother Earth, Big Sugar, Our Lady Peace, 54-40 and Tea Party, but 1997 was also pretty epic when the final three bands were a repeat of some of my favourites - I Mother Earth, Our Lady Peace and Tea Party. Didn’t get much better than that for me. The whole line up was (mostly) awesome and I remember tonnes of great bands on the side stage, but I barely made it there because the main stage was so killer. But I do remember catching most of the Inbreds set on the side stage, which was unfortunately the only time I ever saw them live. I also remember a crazy mosh pit for IME that was so much fun - before everyone stood around at concerts recording it on their phones.
I know these started as an Ontario thing, but later in the 90s spread to other cities in Canada. Anyone remember going to these and have any good memories to share?
