Insider tips
- 01TTC runs extra trains from Downsview Park station — use them, driving in is brutal
- 02VIP gets you elevated viewing platforms and shorter bar lines — worth it for a headliner you actually care about
- 03Bring a CamelBak — water lines hit 30+ minutes when it's hot
- 04Stage 4 (the smaller tent) is where the real heads end up after the main stage finishes
- 05Don't eat at the festival — the food is overpriced. There's a Mucho Burrito 5 min away
