A friend sent me this info on ShazamFest 5 … so i thought i’d pass it along for anyone interested.
Pack your tent and dancing shoes. Get ready for ShazamFest’s three day Carnival.
ShazamFest, Québec’s most unique summer festival, presents a wide
variety of musical talents and stage acts, including circus-based
performances, puppet shows, comedy and burlesque. ShazamFest has
created a special experience for the whole family. Workshops on
forging and circus arts, extreme sport displays of skateboarding and
wrestling give ShazamFest a distinctive flavor. Hidden in a lush
valley surrounded by woods, and a brook with natural springs, the
festival site offers a campground, Main Stage, a rustic Shazam Saloon,
skateboard ramp, an Organic Kitchen, and the Shazam Burger hut.
ShazamFest’s fifth anniversary show is guaranteed to make you smile,
dance and laugh. Start your evening on Friday with Réjean Turbid’s
swing rock. Rock out to RockHard. Then take a ride with WD40’s country
flavored punk rock. Laugh at The RPM puppet conspiracy political
satire. Jump and shout with your fists in the air to Pete Möss.
Ottawa’s Rockalily Burlesque will make you blush and Ro and the
Virtuous Villains will amaze and tantalize with this scene-stealing
stage Performance. To top it all off, we will have a guest appearance
by The Human Floor.
Start off Saturday with the clownish antics of Alexio and Mary-Bulle.
Come and relax to the sound of Richard Lahmy on our small stage or
watch the old school versus new school skateboard competition on the
largest ramp in the Townships. Voluntad’s world music will get your
feet moving. Mike Goudreau and his blues band will keep you grooving.
The Eastern Townships Wrestling Association will make you laugh and
cringe at their crazy antics. Blast off with the LennoxVillains prog
rock. Fogo Rasto will burn you up with their firestorm. Mello G’s
reggae will get you in a loving mood. Enjoy Boston’s buxom babes of
the Bitches of Destiny Burlesque. Dance the night away to RadioRadio
