We here at CBC Life are just as excited as you about Canada's 150th birthday. So in the month leading up to July 1, we're showcasing some of our country's amazing hidden gems from coast to coast: totally Instagram-worthy food, tiles too pretty to *not* shoot, crazy views and more. #CanadaGem #CBClife
Whether you're a little bit country, or prefer your beats with a loud, booming bass, you probably agree that music just sounds better when you're hearing it live. Luckily, with the countless high quality acts that make their way across our fine country (especially in the summertime), Canadian audiophiles have a pretty great selection to choose from when it comes to which artists to see — and where to see them!
From blink-and-you'll-miss-it dive bars to sprawling stages, there's no shortage of venues in Canada to sit back, sip an ice cold bevvy and jam out to some infectious tunes. To help with your summer concert planning, we've rounded up some of the most beautiful, interesting places to take in live music from coast to coast.
