Those not suffering from pot-induced short-term-memory loss will recall the outdoor part of Austin’s recent Levitation festival being cancelled because of violent weather. Vancouver offers a redo this week, with the second Lotusland edition of Levitation, taking place Thursday to Sunday (June 16 to 19).

Highlights include genre-masher Flying Lotus, SoCal madmen Thee Oh Sees, instrumental experimentalists Holy Fuck, and jagged punks Cherry Glazerr. (See the Levitation website for more info.)

Take note that the outdoor portion of Levitation Vancouver has been moved from Malkin Bowl to the Commodore, that perhaps being a blessing, if only because you never know when the weather is going to get violent.
