Toronto’s First Class Fest, a show that bills itself as “Canada’s biggest rap festival,” is set to start tomorrow, but it has lost one fifth of its lineup at the last minute. First Class is a relatively small operation, founded by two guys in their early twenties, and it’s set to start tomorrow at the Bowl at Sobey’s Stadium. They’ve been putting on shows since 2022, and this will be their first outdoor festival. The bill leans heavily into the chaotic, digitally distorted form of underground rap known as rage, and it looks like the planning has been just as chaotic as the music.
