CHEAP TRICK The sound of Cheap Trick is a unique union of massive melodies and razorblade riffs coupled with their own brand of mischievous wit and maximum rock ‘n’ roll. The band can boast of an unparalleled streak of certifiably classic tunes, from He’s A Whore, California Man and Dream Police to Surrender and I Want You To Want Me. Not a nostalgia band, Cheap Trick continues to be a model of freakish consistency and has recently released three albums to rave reviews in as many years.

6:30 Marianas Trench

THE BEACH BOYS This band has birthed a torrent of hit singles and sold albums by the tens of millions. It’s hard to believe that it’s been over 50 years since Good Vibrations, widely considered one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of rock ‘n’ roll. But its greater significance lies in the fact that The Beach Boys’ songs have forever changed the musical landscape, profoundly influencing countless performing artists to follow.

Few, if any, acts can match The Beach Boys’ concert presence, spirit and performance. Don’t miss this chance to see them during their world tour this summer – there’s only one other western Canada date on the tour.

NO DOGS

Friday August 9

MARIANA’S TRENCH Marianas Trench has well established strengths like their trademark, heavily layered harmonies, as well as blazing guitars set against club-worthy beats.

Marianas Trench front man Josh Ramsay enthuses, “mousse up that hair, throw on your best ripped acid wash, and get ready to join the fight to make dancing legal once again. When this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you’re gonna see some serious shit. Can you survive Astoria? The only other thing capable of generating that much energy is a bolt of lightning.”

Along with his three bandmates in Poison, Michaels became an integral part of the popular hair metal scene, mixing feel-good party anthems and sensitive ballads into some of the decade’s top-selling singles.

WARRANT

former lead vocalist

Creating a party anthem is what Warrant loves to do but you’re not gonna get too far into a list of the best Warrant songs without hitting a power ballad. Warrant’s signature style of rock music is very catchy and yet very melodic. Their album Louder Harder Faster, released on Frontiers Records, has been highly regarded in reviews and embraced by fans.

The band is fired up and tighter than ever musically!

These rockers can’t wait to play not only ALL the hits fans know and love, but also the new Louder Harder Faster and I Think I Will Just Stay Here & Drink.
