We've made it to the end of February, making us one sixth of the way through 2014. It's time to ask yourself, "Have I seen enough concerts so far this year?" The answer is no, because you can never see too many shows. Read our picks for the week of February 27 - March 5 below to help guide you to some great performances, and make sure to check back every week for more Canadian shows near you.
Between the Buried and Me
Progressive metal quintet Between the Buried and Me will be making their way through Ontario and Quebec, and they are bringing some friends along with them. San Francisco metal outfit Deafheaven will be performing their first Canadian dates since their critically-acclaimed 2013 album Sunbather.

Broken Bells
Broken Bells will be playing a couple of Canadian shows on their current tour for their new LP After the Disco before they dip back into the States.

03/03 Toronto, ON – Danforth Music Hall
03/04 Montreal, QC – Metropolis
Basia Bulat
Singer-songwriter Basia Bulat will be playing a few shows across Quebec and Ontario as she makes her way to London for a performance at the Aeolian Hall.

03/01 Kingston, ON – The Grad Club
03/05 London, ON – Aeolian Hall
