Nova
Rae
Artist Story
Nova Rae writes big, bright pop songs in a bedroom studio in Montréal and plays them as if a stadium were listening. Her second album, Glasshouse, spent the spring on every late-night playlist. Afterglow is her only Canadian festival date this summer.

Kairo
Artist Story
Kairo grew up between Lagos and Toronto and DJs as if both cities were in the room: warm house, heavy drums and long, patient builds. His Sunday residency sold out three years running. Expect the Hangar’s closing set to run until the lights come up.

Saint
Harbor
Artist Story
Saint Harbor are four friends from Halifax who turn sea-shanty choruses into loud, joyful rock. They have played 300 shows in five years, most of them in rooms far too small for them. This is their first festival headline set.

Mira
Solé
Artist Story
Mira Solé sings soul at the piano with a voice that fills a field without trying. Her debut record was made live in two days with no overdubs. She closes the festival on Sunday as the sun goes down over the lake.
