ALL AGES SHOW MARKS FESTIVAL’S SECOND ANNUAL WARM-UP PARTY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BRIDGELAND RETAILER

Calgary music lovers of all ages will have a free opportunity to dust off those sleds days before the Sled Island Music & Arts Festival begins.

For its second consecutive year, the festival is partnering with Lukes Drug Mart (112 – 4 St. NE) in Bridgeland to co-present a free pre-fest party from noon to 5 p.m. on June 8th.

Canadian hip hop sensation Shad will be headlining along with Seattle-based pop-punkers Tacocat. Vancouver’s Dead Soft and Calgary’s Night Committee will round up the bill.

Last year’s headliners included Ladyhawk and Rural Alberta Advantage.

You may RSVP on the pre-festival party’s Facebook page here.
