After last week's concerts, you may be thinking about taking it easy this weekend–– only for fear of what the tallboys and deep fried festival foods are doing to your body. However, a recent study suggests that festival-going actually improves your fitness; all of that walking and dancing is a pretty intense workout. Therefore, in the interest of your physical wellbeing, we've compiled a list of concerts that you can attend from July 16 to 22.
The Decemberists
Portland, OR's beloved indie rockers the Decemberists have been touring in support of their most recent album, What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World, which came out early this year. This week will find the band playing a host of Canadian tour dates in multiple provinces, with the support of acts such as Calexico and Lady Lamb on respective dates. If you've yet to see the Decemberists since their inception over a decade ago, don't let this opportunity pass; be sure to meet up with the dramatic indie troupe somewhere along the road.
