Concert Report: Igloofest (Montreal)

Who the hell does an outdoor DJ concert in the middle of a Canadian winter? Back at Igloofest for the 4th straight year!

There are two stages at Igloofest with the Videotron Stage being the smaller of the two. Everyone usually hangs-out at the main stage but there was actually a large crowd at this one too!

For DJ Mandiz (CDN).

The weather brought out plenty of abominable snowmen!

But just because it was 18F° doesn't keep Montrealers at home!

OK, let's head to the main stage!

The Sapporo main Stage was already jammed!

People waiting for the headliner act that led to this sold out show of over 10,000 people!

DJ Spencer Brown (USA) delivering his House / Progressive set!

Lots of costumes in the crowd!

But we know who this guy was here to see!

Quick visit back to the Videotron Stage where several DJ's were tagteaming.

You got to stay bundled up to survive at Igloofest! Down to 13F° now! But this is balmy compared to last year when it was 4F° when I saw Sasha & Digweed (GB) here.

 It was necessary to come into the heated pavilion several times to thaw out!

But not for long.....time to get back to the Sapporo Stage!

We last saw Spencer Brown play actually here in Quebec last February.

Full house as 22h30 finally arrived!

There they were! Paavo and Tony are Above & Beyond (GB).

Everyone was happy! Cold yes, but happy.

Above & Beyond would play a lot of songs off their "Common Ground" album.

Midnight and no one was leaving!

Packed to the rafters!

"Northern Soul"

There are other diversions besides music, food and drinking. You can get your photo taken showing off your Igloofest swag.

You can toast marshmallows!

You can go up the slide.

Wait a second.....I ain't getting into that hole!

Great views of the main stage below.

There are dryers to warm up your gloves and toques.

Who the hell does an outdoor DJ concert in the middle of a Canadian winter? Montreal does, that's who! A good time was had by all!
