Dear Besties 💌 All Things Go takes Toronto 💫

a discovery playlist featuring weekly top 10 music releases

1. Kacey Musgraves- Cardinal: Cardinal live absolutely wrecked me. Her voice was heavenly and left everyone in the room breathless. 

2. Role Model- Somebody Else cover: Tucker's version of this song gets me every time. He sounded insane live (as usual) and somehow makes this breakup song sound comforting? 

3. Remi Wolf and Julia Wolf- Dreams cover: They absolutely ATE with this cover. Their chemistry on stage was unmatched. I couldn't look away.

The All Things Go compilation album is almost here! Make sure to pre-save so you don’t miss it.

Dear Besties,

My name is Abi and I am sooo excited to be ATG’s Bestie of the Week! This was Toronto’s first ever ATG festival and it was spectacular, and I can't wait to share all of my favorite moments with you! From my favourite songs to the last set of the weekend, let's get into it.

ALL THINGS SETLIST

1. Old Recliners (Extended) – Role Model I’m like bruh... Tucker has to be one of my favourite artists on the planet. My bestie Sofia and I have declared this to be our favourite song of his ever, so finally getting to hear the extended version while on the barricade together was truly a dream come true.

2. Have a Good Summer Without Me – Valley Ever heard of a band called Valley? Well I sure have! Always a pleasure seeing the band tear up the stage. This song is off of their album Lost in Translation, which is one of my favourites. It’s also an added bonus that they’re from Toronto, so you know I had to show up for them this weekend.

3. Crazier Things – Chelsea Cutler When I tell you guys I cried during her entire set, it feels like an understatement. I’ve been listening to Chelsea’s music since I started high school, and this song is my all time favourite of hers. Seeing her for the first time live was such a full circle moment for me, and I couldn’t be happier.

ALL THINGS FESTIVAL

1. This is my bestie Sofia’s post! When we were inside waiting to head onto the floor on Sunday, we held a little prayer circle in honour of Tucker’s song, Oh Gemini. Unfortunately he did not hear our prayers... I have a feeling he sensed the One Direction blanket in the middle of the circle. Regardless, this was one of the most memorable weekend’s ever for our friend group. It truly does pay to be a bestie!!!

2. When this happened Saturday night I literally had an out of body experience, I honestly think I started levitating off the ground. Not a single thought in my head even considered Tucker showing up at the end of Renée’s set, but it was perfect. If anything, it just made my friends and I even more excited for the next day.

3. One of the best things that I got out of this year’s festival was having made so many new friends, or should I say besties! This is Vicky, and she is absolute goals when it comes to her vibe, style, and her feed. I loved getting to know her and so many other wonderful people this year, and I can’t wait to do it all again!

ALL THINGS STYLE

1. Custom shirts are so fun! I saw so many divas with such cool shirts. These are some that my besties Sofia and Lexie made for Sunday. Can you tell they’re inspired by Role Model?

1. An essential for any festival or concert is having the right bag. My favourite to take with me, and the one that was part of my festival outfit this year, is my cross body bag. It’s got lots of room to hold everything that you could possibly need. → Custine the waist bag in recycled cotton military green – Riverdroite Paris.

2. One thing I will say is that sunglasses truly are a bestie too, because boy oh boy did I love having mine this weekend. We were so fortunate enough to have such warm weather this past weekend, and the sun was shining oh so very bright! Between protecting your eyes and elevating your outfit, a fun pair of sunnies truly can go a long way. → Square Shield-Style Sunglasses – Ardene.

ALL THINGS BESTIES

1. The fast pass has to be a dream come true for being a bestie. My friends and I showed up maybe half an hour before we were let into the grounds and we wound up being second row! Perfect view to kick off a perfect weekend!

2. I really do love having our own private Instagram for all of us besties to stay connected. It’s like a fun little secret that we all get to share just for being in this super cool club of really awesome people who share a love for all things music and fun!

3. Festival bracelets are always something fun to collect, I like to keep all of mine inside of my memory box. I liked that this year’s Boomfy’s Besties bracelets for Toronto were silver and gold because they mixed and matched with everyone’s jewelry, including that of my own!

SONG LYRIC OF THE DAY

“You know I, I'm afraid of change. Guess that's why we stay the same.” – July, Noah Cyrus

Closing out the summer with ATG Toronto was so much fun, and I can’t wait to do it all over again! XOXO, Abi!
