CBC is proud to sponsor this five-day festival that brings an eclectic mix of music, art, comedy and film to the Calgary culture scene. Over 30,000 attendees transform Calgary into an arts lover's paradise and offers something fresh and new to the independent spirits of our city.
Acts include titanic indie rock band Wavves, garage-punk poets Tyvek, high energy prog-pop project Once and Future Band, sizzling rapper Pierre, stoner legends Shooting Guns, lush indie-folk act Tispur, black metal purveyors Wilt and much more!
Sled Island is also about showcasing the amazing talent we have right here at home. Some choice Calgary artists include synth weirdos Aiwass, battering electro-punks DRI HIEV, garage-pop band Glaux, internationally celebrated bass music champ HomeSick, international traditionalists HYMN, perhaps Calgary's finest songwriter Kris Ellestad, wily young rapper Louis CZA The Black Greek God, freshmen rock n' roll renegades Sellout, haunting composer Valiska and zesty stoner rockers Woodhawk.
