One of the most iconic electronic music artists is on its North American tour, with a stop in Toronto. Boys Noize from Germany pretty much slayed it in the late 2000s with some really epic beats, and remixed hip-hop and disco tracks, including Snoop Dogg and N.E.R.D., and then teamed up with Skrillex and formed a group called Dog Blood which played at Ultra 2013.

Is there any better combination than beer and hiking?
Well, yes, there are plenty, but beer and hiking is still a pretty awesome thing to do on a Sunday. Start at Old Mill Station and walk 9 km through the Humber River Trail, ending up at Halo Brewery. Your destination is a new small craft brewery serving stuff like elderberry and elderflower malt cider, and lemon apricot tart saison. Dress warm.
When to go: Sunday, 9:45 am
