Your CMW Survival Guide

By Torontoist

From March 9 to 13, Torontoist is covering the crap out of Canadian Music Week, with daily concert and film previews, reviews of the latest action, words with your favourite and soon-to-be-favourite bands, and more.
CMW can be overwhelming. Actually, who are we kidding? It’s ridiculous. Here are some tips to help you make it through the next five days.

Bands: There are over eight hundred of them. Here’s how not to die trying to see them all.

Venues: Geography is your friend.

Weather: Yes, this is very predictably Canadian of us. But get real—it’s March, and March requires some management.
