I thought they were great. It was easily the best concert I’ve seen in the last 2.5 years lol.
I’m not even a huge fan but am glad I went. They have a great live sound. Between the guitar effects and the nice grooves their music has, it’s hard not to get into the music.
Damn, disappointed to see Matt Anderson at Folk Festival. I really wanted to catch him next time he was in Calgary, but folk fest isn't really my thing.
Today we’re excited to reveal over 150 artists joining the Sled Island 2022 music lineup, confirming over 200 acts to perform at this year’s festival!
Newly announced artists include resounding indie rock legends Built to Spill, acclaimed ambient singer-songwriter Grouper, SoCal pop punk heroes Joyce Manor, minimalist indie luminaries Low, beloved Calgary musician and visual artist Chad Vangaalen, Seattle “surf noir” four-piece La Luz, psych-heavy garage rock trio L.A. WITCH, industrial horrorcore rap artist and 2020 Polaris Prize-winner Backxwash, accomplished Canadian singer-songwriter Julie Doiron, prolific rapper and producer R.A.P. Ferreira, Olympia’s heavy-as-hell death metal four-piece Mortiferum, trailblazing doom-meets-noise project Body Void, Calgary-based doom metal duo MARES OF THRACE, and recently-established heavy metal outfit Worse, featuring former members of Pride Tiger and 3 Inches of Blood.

The Following User Says Thank You to troutman For This Useful Post:
I have Sigur Ros tickets for Monday.
Have been debating selling them and watching game 4, but considering how boring the series is, maybe I should go. Have seen them once before and it was incredible.
What would you do??
Sigur Ros definitely (but then I don't care for hockey) I'm so annoyed that they never come here, always seemingly Vancouver. Looked at tickets recently for the hell of it. $250 for regular seems really steep, but I haven't been to a concert in years.
Grabbed tickets VIA presale- I had great seats for their last date, which was cancelled a couple days before the lockdown- Really looking forward to it
Marcus King is playing The Palace tomorrow night, I'm giving up my ticket because I can't miss the Flames game but he is a badass blues/rock guitar player.
