Line-up Announced for Vancouver’s Victory Square Block Party

BY Josiah HughesPublished Jul 23, 2008

If you’re a student, Labour Day Weekend marks the depressing time of the year when you dust off your brain from rotting in Slurpee juices all summer and get ready to go back to school. But in Vancouver, it’s something much more special thanks to the Victory Square Block Party!

Presented by Only, the same fine folks who organise the Music Waste festivities every year, the VSBP is a free outdoor concert at Victory Square, the block of land dividing Hastings and Cambie in Downtown Vancouver.

Though only the initial line-up has been announced, there is a lot to be excited about, as scheduled performances include Bison, the Evaporators, No Kids, Basketball, Ice Cream, and the Defektors, along with DJ sets from Ian Wyatt, Benjamin, and My!Gay!Husband!

In other words, get your pencil case and Trapper Keeper a few days early so you can live it up outside with some amazing bands.
