The program for June 11th is a lineup presented in parntership with NXNE and Billboard!

5:30-6:15pm – Lotsy

6:30-7:15pm -Lucy Ellis

Lotsy is the rock-forward project of Canadian artist and songwriter Sarah Jayne Riley, blending sharp-edged alt-pop, post-punk energy, new wave textures, and anthemic hooks into songs built
for late-night drives, festival crowds, and personal reckoning. Emerging from reinvention, Lotsy turns vulnerability into velocity with immersive, high-energy performances and a simple invitation: stop shrinking.

Lucy Ellis finds inspiration in the poetry she read growing up, in movie soundtracks, and in the time she spends outdoors. As a musician and actor, she incorporates both art forms into her storytelling to connect with her audience. She released her debut EP Come of Age last year and continues to write songs that explore themes of emotion, identity, and memory.

This program is in partnership with Billboard Canada and North by North East.
