Building on the success of Rifflandia 2008, this year’s festival will span four days at eight venues, featuring more than 50 artists in Victoria, BC’s historic downtown core. The festival will be held from September 24-27, 2009, with more than 2500 island music fans expected to attend.
Last year, Black Mountain, Final Fantasy, The Walkmen and DJ Z Trip performed alongside emerging artists Man Man, Blitzen Trapper, The Whigs and more than 50 others. There are at least two performance slots reserved for Sonicbids artists. Compensation is to be determined.
While last year’s festival focused on a local group of presenting sponsors, Rifflandia 2009 will open its doors to several national sponsors. In addition to the music, Rifflandia 2009 will include comedy, film screenings, free afternoon programming and more. Wristband holders will have access to all of the festival shows and numerous discounts at some of Victoria’s most popular boutiques and restaurants.
