Summer festival season’s sunny CanCon overdose is back for its seventh year.

For this year’s CBC Music Festival at Echo Beach, Toronto-based jangle rockers Alvvays – veterans of daytime festival slots, CBC included – are making the jump to headliner status. Also high on the poster are Stars, who are further making the case that 00s indie has become the new classic rock by playing their beloved 2004 album, Set Yourself On Fire, in full. Other big names include Rhye, Coeur de Pirate, Charlotte Cardin, Exco Levi and the legendary Buffy Sainte-Marie.

There’s also a q stage, which is where you can catch CBC Searchlight winner Shopé (a fun hip-hop artist who’s certainly given Drake’s Views a few million spins) alongside Peach Pit, Hubert Lenoir, the Courtneys and Emmanuel Jal.

There’s a new Juno 365 stage with all Juno nominees (because one CanCon institution wasn’t enough) featuring Elisapie, Nuela Charles, Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar and Laila Biali.

May 25 at Echo Beach (909 Lake Shore West), 1:30 pm, all ages. $39.50. On sale April 12. ticketmaster.ca. cbcmusic.ca/festival.
