The Beat Brigade

For the most part, it's a lot of fun.
Crappy things happen though, and the volunteers are always affected.
This week I talked with Meaghan from the Green team again.

Who remembers Migos, 2017?

People got crushed, gates crashed, and there was a stampede from one show to another.
It was a rough night.
Come share some of our experiences.

What is The Beat Brigade?

Unheard tales from the volunteer crews behind your Ottawa music festivals.

Behind every music festival are hundreds, if not thousands, of volunteers.
Covering everything from welcoming, gate checks, accessibility, bartending, garbage removal, and the guest experience.
These largely unsung heroes work tirelessly and contribute to the success of these festivals.

Tune in to hear some incredible stories from behind the scenes at Ottawa's biggest music festivals.
