The Olympics combine sports AND music

I love Vancouver. Vancouver, Canada that is, not Vancouver, Washington. Even though I’m not from there I am loving the hype it is gaining for the Winter Olympics right now. Since the Olympics are a huge event and there will be many more people flowing in and out of the city during this time, they have decided to put on a free music festival for two weeks (Feb 12-28!)

PS the animals for their design are super cute. I want!

Here’s the list underneath the cut:
