You'd have to be a fool, not to think about it! Toronto's Festival of Beer (TFOB 2017), presented by the Beer Store is back on July 28-30, 2017 at Bandshell Park, Exhibition Place. This year, Juno award winning rock band Sloan will headline the festival on Saturday, July 29 presented by 94.9 The Rock.

"We are very excited to have Sloan play TFOB 2017," said Les Murray, President of Toronto's Festival of Beer, "The Saturday of the festival has always been the most talked about day of that weekend because the atmosphere can't be compared to anything else and this year is gearing up to be another big one. It's a day and performance that you won't want to miss!"

This year, TFOB 2017 will be celebrating Canada's 150th birthday by creating a massive 100,000 square-foot pavilion which showcases both beer and culinary delights from various regions across Canada. As part of this celebration TFOB 2017 will also be showcasing various musical acts that hail from different regions in Canada, as well as the U.S. Sloan is the first of three headliners to be announced. Headliners for Friday and Sunday of TFOB 2017 will be announced in the coming weeks.

Over the course of their 25 year career, the four songwriters in Sloan have amassed an outstanding collection of over 200 songs on eleven studio albums. Recently named one of Canada's top five bands of all-time in a CBC critics poll, Sloan continue to write, record and tour well into their third decade together.

Last year, Sloan took to the road performing over 70 shows in celebration of the 20th anniversary of their album "One Chord To Another". 2017 will find the band in studio writing and recording new material. This summer the band will be performing their hits and fan favourites at festival concerts across North America.
