Ever After Music Festival

It’s finally here. Ever After Music Festival is back for a 5th year at On The Grand & Bingemans!

Hands down this festival is the ‘hardest’ EDM Festival in Canada. Your neck will be sore from headbanging and your heart will be full from all the memories… or if your memory is a little fuzzy then at least your instagram will be.

I’ve been to this festival every year since it’s birth. Here’s what you need to know:

Ticket Exchange:

You’re going to want to exchange your hard copy or online tickets in for wrist bands as soon as possible. You can do that at the early registration locations:

Beyond Oz Head Office

119 Westcreek Drive, Unit 4
Woodbridge ON L4L 9N6

Open Monday May 27 through Friday May 31
10am till 5pm Daily

or

Boston Pizza

425 Bingeman Centre drive
Kitchener ON N2B 3X7

Open Monday May 27 through Wednesday June 5th
Monday to Friday 11am till 6pm Daily
Saturday 11am to 5pm
Sunday Closed

 

You can see the interactive map HERE. When you get your wrist bands, don’t forget to register them ONLINE. Wristbands must be registered, why not do it online ahead of time instead so you can get through the line faster? Here is the link to register your bands. Don’t have a ticket yet? We’re giving them away every morning and afternoon on 91.5 The Beat, so make sure you’re listening!

The Lineup:

We’ve known the lineup for a while, but finally we have SET TIMES! Here they are. The second main stage has a new name every night. Don’t forget to check out your awesome Canadian talent too! Oh, and I’ll start with the pre party happening at On the Grand on Thursday!

 

 

Side note: It’s a wee hike to get from one stage to the other. If you’ve never been to the new On the Grand Venue (2nd main stage), I’ll just let you know right now it is up a hill, I’d say give yourself 10-15 minutes to get from one stage to the other. Here’s the map!

Study this map. It is your friend. Heck, even screen shot it and keep it on your phone. Keep in mind where water stations are and washrooms are! I’ll highlight some of the attractions in a sec but first lets talk…
