Last night, the Ottawa Music Industry Coalition (OMIC) announced its winners for the sixth annual Capital Music Awards.

A night of dancing ensued on day four of CityFolk, headlined by Milky Chance. The German pop-folk band were at their best, as the leading electric beats mixed with catchy hooks had most of the crowd off their feet.

Yet another perfect night in the books, and one of the hardest rocking ones in the 30 year history of the festival. If you’re still sore from the mosh pit or the crowd surfing, fret not, as today’s lineup is a perfect mix of pop and indie rock to enjoy a little less aggressively. The odds of a mosh pit breaking out are pretty low.
