To kick off the event, night one at Wonder ballroom will bring the focus to the lo-fi music scene. Headliner Alvvays, hailing from Toronto, is a dream pop five-piece that made their mark back in 2014 with their self-titled album, which debuted at No. 1 on the US college charts. Now working on their follow-up record, we can’t wait to see what they do next. Also joining them on the first night are The Courtneys from Vancouver and Candace from Portland!

Among the headliners for night two is fan-favorite, Shamir, who’s sure to show anyone in attendance an incredible time. Following the release of his debut studio album, Ratchet, the Las Vegas native has racked up a diehard following and has been riding that momentum ever since. Joining Shamir on the Wonder Ballroom stage is funk artist Harriet Brown and groovy R&B outfit Chanti Darling. Talk about a triple threat.
