New additions to this year's lineup include live electronics masters Mount Kimbie (playing a full band set), perennial Sled Island fave and guitar wizard Mary Timony (performing her famed Mary Timony Plays Helium set), electro R&B crooner Harrison Brome and bassy troublemaker josh pan (co-headlining the Sled Island Block Party as well as playing sets at the HiFi Club), plus giddy garage rockers Peach Kelli Pop (joining an already-announced show headlined by Cherry Glazerr at Dickens).
Three new Deerhoof selections have been added to the lineup as well. We think you'll love discovering the experimental rock sounds of empath, Prissy Whip and Solid Freex as much as we did!

You might want to sit down for this: veteran psychedelic act The Flaming Lips are coming to Sled Island 2018!
The band will bring their dazzling live show to MacEwan Hall on Thursday, June 21 in support of their most recent release, 2017’s acclaimed Oczy Mlody.
Maybe the best live show around!

The comedy lineup has been announced. Beth Sterling is great and I look forward to seeing her. I’m not familiar with the rest though.

For anybody who wants to pick up tickets for The Flaming Lips, they are apparently $20 on ncw.livenation.com this week. I don't think there's a catch but there may be?

Tuesday
Poster Show, I get at least one every year and I've been wanting to check out Pinbar anyway.
Wednesday
Mount Eerie @ CUC
Thundercat @ the Palace
Oren Ambrachi/Will Guthrie @ Broken City
Mount Kimbie @ Commonwealth
something's probably going to have to get cut out
Thursday
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
there's a few lower-card acts I'm curious about but the headliners are all duds for me. Maybe Jung People but apparently it's an ambient set which I'm not hugely enthusiastic about.
Friday
Grouper @ Studio Bell
The Body @ Palomino or Eamon McGrath @ Nite Owl or Slow @ Dickens
Saturday
Maybe Tyondai Braxton @ Bell?
Dirty Projectors @ the Palace
Shabazz Palaces @ #1
Sunday
Year of Glad @ Palomino
I got some really ####ty luck with how the schedule was dispersed this year, almost everything I'm actively eager to see is crammed into Wednesday.

I would love to see the Flaming Lips again, but I think I would miss too much other stuff downtown. What if Wayne invited me to dance on stage in a bunny suit?!?!
