Edmonton's Winter Festival
LINEUP UPDATE!
We regret to announce that due to the postponement of the Destination Chaos festival in the Dominican Republic, UK artists Shame have cancelled their trip to North America, and our festivals. Winterruption YEG/ Big Winter Classic are thrilled to announce California rock n roll punks Joyce Manor as replacement on Friday Jan 27 in Edmonton and Saturday Jan 28 in Calgary.
All Shame tickets will be honoured for this event. Ticket links have been updated and we expect both events to sell out in the coming weeks.
