There'll also be a rock 'n’ roll boat cruise featuring members of iconic Canadian rock bands like Sloan, The Inbreds and The Pretty Lights. NLFB has partnered with local indie show presenters Party Cannon to present this one-of-a-kind musical cruise aboard the William Ramsey. Indie rock supergroup TUNS will play on board this party vessel, accompanied by local all-girl garage-punk outfit The Ape-ettes. The Party Cannon Pirate Cruise will depart from the Science North dock on July 8 at 3 p.m. Special tickets are available at nlfb.ca.
Sloan’s Chris Murphy has become known as one of the finest writers and performers in Canadian rock 'n’ roll. TUNS are a supergroup that brings Murphy together with his friends and brothers in rock, Mike O’Neill of The Inbreds and Matt Murphy of The Super Friendz and The Pretty Lights. Combining 90s indie rock with power-pop and straight-up rock 'n’ roll, their debut album boasts some of the catchiest rock songs of the last year, and was recently nominated for the Polaris Prize long list.
NLFB is Canada’s longest continually running outdoor music festival. Over the years, NLFB has grown into a seasoned presenter of roots and modern music, and a lightning rod for the energy of northern Ontario’s artistic community. Tickets and information are online at nlfb.ca.
