No evidence that this music festival meets WP:GNG. There is no sourcing on the page, and the only sources I can find on Google are self-published and promotional websites, along with WP:NOTRSMUSIC sources like Setlist.fm and random blogs. All I can find that comes anywhere close to notability is that popular Canadian artists performed at the festival, but just because multiple performers on the bill charted and went platinum does not mean this festival inherits notability. With no independent notability presented whatsoever, fails WP:NMUSIC. JeffSpaceman (talk) 13:27, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(weak?) Delete. Festival only ran for two years. Google brings up nothing, but ProQuest has a few dozen articles mentioning it, most of which failing WP:NEWSPRIMARY or WP:SIGCOV. This peice detailing the festival's demise does have substantial detail. If nothing else, I doubt a festival that only lasted two years meets WP:LASTING. Mach61 12:23, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
