The 5 most anticipated music festivals in Toronto this spring

Toronto music festivals are some of the most anticipated events of the year in the city, and with the weather hopefully warming up in the near future, festival season is about to get underway.

When Rihanna said "please don't stop the music," she must have been echoing the voices of Toronto music fans, because there's no end to the music this spring, from a grassroots heavy metal festival to a city-wide celebration of Canadian artists.

Here are my picks for the most-anticipated music festivals coming to Toronto this spring.
