Sappyfest will return to the streets of Sackville this summer and organizers have just released their first sneak peek at who will be hitting the stage for the much-loved indie festival.
A dozen artists were announced this week in the first line-up for Sappyfest and, as expected, includes an eclectic mix of musicians – from Montreal-based indie pop duo Bibi Club, to genre-bending punk band from Vancouver Piss, to a songwriter and film composer from Toronto Eliza Niemi, just to name a few.
The festival will take place from July 31 to August 2 and advance weekend passes are now on sale. Located mainly on Bridge Street in the centre of downtown Sackville, the festival grounds include a performance tent, a beer garden, a merchandise market, vendor grounds, and an open space with picnic tables. Many off-site venues are also used during the festival, including Struts Gallery, the Royal Canadian Legion, Ducky’s Pub, and the Sackville United Church, among others.
