Empty Fest returns April 26th-27th for one last hurrah!! Come out and celebrate the 13th and final edition of Sarnia’s longest running independent music festival with 14 incredible acts over the course of 2 days. This year’s festival boasts a line-up featuring some of the most exciting and eclectic music being created right now, including theatrical electro punks SLASH NEED (T.O), amphibian funk powerhouse THE FRIENDLY FROG FREAK SHOW (Montreal), virtuosic dream rockers ACE OF WANDS (T.O), psychedelic R&B experimenter BRENDAN PHILIP (T.O), electronic-boogie sensation ZONES (T.O), plus so much more! If that wasn’t enough, I’m thrilled to have live visual duo THE OSCILLITARIUM providing psychedelic flourishes to the Empty Fest stages this year!
Help spread the word!!
