Preview: Igloofest 2012
If you’ve lived in this city for a decent amount of time, I think you will agree that it hasn’t felt much like a Montreal winter for the last few weeks. The roads were clear of brown slush, the sidewalks weren’t completely covered in ice, and you could even walk outside freely without the snot in your nose immediately freezing. Given all of that, it seems perfectly fitting that the snow has finally returned to Montreal just in time for the first night of Igloofest. I can only take this development as a sign that this evening’s festivities will be particularly insane, so grab your parkas, your snow suits and your warmest boots and prepare for three weekends of frozen mayhem in the Old Port.
As I approach the end of my fourth year of school in Montreal, I feel privileged to say that I’ve witnessed the exponential growth of this festival from year to year, and the 2012 edition is sure to be bigger and badder than ever before (in the best way possible, obviously). The explosion in the festival’s popularity since it’s inception in 2007 and the insane lineups of performers from week to week have brought Igloofest to a new level, and I personally can’t wait to see what they have in store for us this time around. So be sure to arrive early tonight, soak in the amazing environment and enjoy the tunes from A-Trak and all of the other world class DJs set to spin over the next nine days. Here is the latest edition of A-Trak’s monthly Fools Gold radio show to get you pumped, I will see you tonight!!
