Prepare the Ground is a multi-venue arts and heavy music festival held in Toronto, Ontario, that focuses on heavy music as an ethos of collective catharsis. The event features a meticulously curated lineup of doom, metal, and experimental artists performing across iconic stages in the city's Annex neighborhood.
