Music is in the air as Northern Lights Festival Boréal is ready to deliver four days of non-stop entertainment.
Living-legend Buffy Sainte Marie will be gracing the Grace Hartman amphitheatre in mere days; her first performance at the festival in more than 30 years. She will bring her full band to deliver a truly unparalleled performance this Thursday.
Supporting acts for the special Thursday night include Juno-winners Quantum Tangle, Iqaluit alt-country rockers the Jerry Cans, the iconic poet Joy Harjo, the triumphant reunion of No Reservations, the hauntingly beautiful singer-songwriter Ansley Simpson and the Black Bull Moose Singers.
Once the festival is wrapped, make your way to the Townehouse Tavern to catch Nick Sherman, Leonard Sumner, Bboy Redsky, local Juno-nominee Bryden Gwiss Kiwenzie and Mob Bounce.
Indie rockers and riff-heads beware as Friday night is going to deliver the tunes that will be stuck in your head all summer. Headliners Yukon Blonde are making their way back to the festival to crank their pop-hooked rock anthems. Super-group TUNS, featuring Chris Murphy of Sloan, will be kicking out the jams right before Yukon Blonde. If you’re more into the groove, don’t fret as Festival Boreal delivers with the incredible Brazilian 10-piece act, Bixiga 70, who will be playing a main stage spot, as well as a once-in-a-lifetime slot at the Townehouse Tavern following Yukon Blonde.
