Another Victoria weekend means another chance to get outside and enjoy live music! From July 7-9, the daily tunes will come courtesy of the Phillips Backyard Weekender.
The next three days will bring enough unique performers to satiate a whole spectrum of musical palates. Festival-goers will get everything from a taste of surf-vibe garage rock to a dose of hip-hop soul, to a popular blend of island reggae. And that’s just on Friday!
Saturday showcases another slate of distinctive artists and will be headlined by alt-rock legends CAKE.
On Sunday, among other great acts, Grammy nominated Mariachi Flor De Toloache will bring a Latin flair to proceedings at 4:15 PM before Canadian indie rock outfit Current Swell close out the weekender.
