The iconic hip-hop duo and founding members of rap super groups Wu-Tang Clan and Def Squad, Method Man & Redman will make their return to Toronto this summer at Toronto’s Festival of Beer, with a supporting performance by Canadian hip-hop pioneer Saukrates. On Friday, July 28th, both Method Man and Redman otherwise known as Funk Doctor Spock and Johnny Blaze will headline the Bandshell Stage, Exhibition Place, with Saukrates on the opening night of the summer beer festival.
“What an iconic lineup of hip-hop heavyweights opening Toronto’s Festival of Beer, 2017!” said Les Murray, President of Toronto’s Festival of Beer, “It’s been so long since Method Man, Redman, and Saukrates have played in Toronto. This is going to be epic!”
