Field Trip Tickets

The layout of the concert was well deisgned. The numerous food/beer tents were well spaced out throughout the Fort York grounds. Great food vendors!! Also, a lot of washrooms on both stage sides reduced the lines during peak concert hours. However, there was a bottleneck between both staging areas which became inpassable later as the shows progressed. I would recommend widening that thoroughfare for future concerts.

Great venue, great line up. Awesome day! I hope it becomes an annual tradition.

Overall the event was really good. The only thing that sucked was the bar and the bar tenders, they were slow and people were in line for almost an hour to get a beer, definitely this had a negative impact in the event. Hope this significantly improves next year.

Fantastic. Every artist gave it their all! Can't wait for the 15th year anniversary.

Family friendly and an absolute beauty day. The festival seemed extremely organized and th music was amazing.

Well planned and well executed event. Great location and great vibe. everything was going great until nap time. The evenings bands started with Bloc Party who were awesome, then stars who rocked but were followed up by Feist who is great but there were literally people falling asleep. Seriously the people next to me lay down for a nap. So we end up leaving.

What else is there to say. On Saturday June 8th Arts and Crafts Records celebrated their 10th Anniversary with an excellent show at the Historic Fort York in Toronto. Big kudos go out to Arts and Crafts for a superb job organinzing this amazing event. From entry to exit and all parts in between it was evident that not one detail was overlooked. The flow of traffic between stages was excellent, the art installations were delighful and the food vendors were scrumptious, with over 30 on hand, the only problem was not been able to try them all. Now how about the music? I arrived shortly after 400pm and plonked the family down at the Garrison Commons stage just before 500pm to catch Bloc Party. There was a huge crowd present and all on hand were treated to 40 minutes of high energy, raw, raukus rock n roll from the British Dance rock act. A nice little cover/intro to Flux of the Calvin Harris ft. Rihana hit We found love was a nice little touch and ode to the scottish dj/producer who recently won an Ivor Novello award. Up next were Stars, and it should be mentioned that the band change overs went over without a hitch or delay. They launched into the 80's retro inspired "The Theory of Relativity", getting people up and dancing. The band were on point as they made their way through 11 of their most popular tracks finishing off with the Anthemic "Hold on when you get love...". First time seeing these guys live and I have to say it was well worth the price of admission. Feist hit the stage next, and she did not dissapoint, an excellent homecoming performance. Having brought my three kids with us, when Feist launched into an excellent cover of the NIna Simone classic "Sealion Woman" we had to unfortunately make our way out, as it was too much excitement for our exhausted kids. We missed Broken Social Scene, but had an excellent time none the less. What a great day!!

Well set up.. accessible venue, accessible washrooms (though 2 on the whole property was a hassle. I found nondisabled people were using them so I ended up having to wait awhile). the beer was incredibly expensive (8.50 for a tall boy) and since I forgot to bring a water bottle, utilizing the free water booth was a hassle since no one would give me a glass without buying it first. I really appreciated having the wheelchair sitting area available on the one stage, but I'm wondering why it wasn't available at both? Also, it cost me 3.50$ to get my own money out of the cash machine at the venue... seems a little excessive. Lastly, I'm so thankful they allowed for re-entry.. I could easily go out and grab some cheaper food/beers at a nearby restaurant.

Perfect. No one could ask for a better Festival. Amazing music and amazing food.
