Sled Island All Ages Preview!
Once again, Sled Island is offering a super-deal All Ages Pass for some of our favourite people; young music lovers! All Ages programming has been a big part of Sled Island from the get-go. From the inaugural edition of the fest in 2007 with Cat Power at Knox United Church right up to last year's awesome performance by The Beets at Tubby Dog, there has and will continue to be exciting options for those under the legal drinking age. An All Ages Pass for $50 grants those under 18 access into tons of options to see headliners or try something new! Our film program is primarily open to All Ages and visual art listings are soon to follow!
The marquee event of Sled Island is always the headliner heavy days at Olympic Plaza. If you were to buy tickets for both days to see Spiritualized, Neko Case, Rocket From The Crypt, Blitzen Trapper and more, you would be spending $80. Duh! An All Ages Pass is a way better deal and gets you into both days at Olympic Plaza guaranteed!
Another exciting option for All Ages programming this year is... wait for it... Touché Amoré! We just confirmed their (all-ages) show is happening on Saturday, June 21st at the Royal Canadian Legion #1 from 2 to 6pm. Tickets available here. You asked and we listened. This show is certain to be packed to the rafters so we encourage you to arrive as soon as doors open.
Putting on a exciting All Ages component can be a labour of love. You can help! We're looking for passionate young music lovers aged 15-17 to help us spread the word. Encourage your friends to come along to Sled Island with you and we'll keep track of referalls. Prizes will be awarded! Visit our All Ages page for more info.
We're also on the lookout for all-ages partners that benefit the All Ages community. If you're interested in partnering with Western Canada's largest indepdendent music and arts festival and have something to offer young music fans, we wanna hear from you! Email us for more details.
