Not into shelling out $60 to $110 to see Justin Bieber at the Air Canada Centre? Well, how about a great band for the price of a can or two from your pantry cupboard? Akron/Family, fresh from a number of UK tour dates, are stopping in Toronto en route to this weekend’s Hillside Festival in Guelph, and are playing a free in-store show at Sonic Boom. (The 8 p.m. showtime is a bit unusual for an in-store, but the band will still probably be on London time.) It’s all ages, and Sonic Boom and the band just ask that you consider bringing a food donation for the Fort York food bank.
