Calgary has its fair share of music festivals, from Sled Island to the Calgary Folk Music Festival to this past weekend's Garbage Daze event, but you can add one more to the list: the Badlands Stampede Music Festival. The inaugural edition takes place July 5 to 7, and organizers have just unveiled the list of artists that will appear onstage.

All together, 18 acts will appear over the three-day weekend event at Calgary's Canada Olympic Park. Headliners include electronic performers Afrojack, Kaskade, Pretty Lights and Steve Aoki. Other acts set to appear include pop-rock duo Matt & Kim, Adventure Club, Excision, Gareth Emery, Morgan Page, Adam K, Getter, GTA, M Machine, Mord Fustang, Nadastorm, Sultan & Ned Sheppard, the Proxxy and X Kore.

Ticket pre-sales start up on Wednesday (April 24), with regular sales starting on Friday (April 26). An early bird special has a three-day pass for the 18-and-over event going for $169, but passes will eventually be bumped up to $199. An all-access pass with bar service will go for $299.
