Canada Day Comes To London

Next month, nineteen Canadian bands descend on eight London venues for a three day mini-fest.

Bands set to perform include Plants And Animals, Think About Life and Dan Mangan (pictured).

The full title of the event is ‘Canadian Blast and The Local Present CANADA’ – catchy, eh? – and it takes place on Tuesday 29th and Wednesday 30th June, and Thursday 1st July.

Ticket-buying punters will receive a free download, featuring one track from each artist, and will be automatically entered into a prize draw for a free trip to Canada for two, including a crosscountry VIA rail journey.
