GAIN MEDIA (Guelph & Area Independent & New Media) emphasizes the arts and music, those who make them, as well as movements that are vital. The GAIN Music and Arts Festival stands out amongst all Guelph events due to its inclination towards rock genres like post-hardcore metal alongside radio-friendly tunes. Then in the following year, the lineup is even more diversified with various sounds, including psychedelia, soul, country, and R&B!
From its humble beginnings in 2011, the GAIN Music and Arts Festival has expanded to become a massive marathon of celebration for local bands and artists in downtown Guelph. The festival's mission is clear: ignite an audience with powerful performances from musicians who may have yet to have the opportunity to showcase their talent on such a prestigious stage. Although the Guelph community has always been passionate about supporting live music, GAIN Fest provides an essential platform that allows lesser-known acts to perform before larger crowds.
Each year, GAIN Music & Arts Festival celebrates its annual event uniquely. It will be recalling historical moments of music and culture and introducing some fresh talent that truly deserves to perform at their own festival stage! The organizer has put together impressive showcases at various downtown cafes, restaurants, and venues, with even more surprises for attendees!
