Proving there is no shortage of great music festivals happening in Canada this summer, the Winnipeg Folk Fest has rolled out its 2016 lineup. And as could be expected, there are a lot of big names hitting up the 43rd edition of the annual event.
Taking place at Birds Hill Provincial Park from July 7 to 10, the festival will welcome the likes of Ryan Adams, Sam Roberts Band, the Head and the Heart, Basia Bulat, Cœur de pirate, Loudon Wainwright III, Lord Huron, Milky Chance, the Wainwright Sisters, Andy Shauf, Twin Peaks, Jennifer Castle, and Jim Bryson.
On July 8, there will also be an appearance by the Bluegrass Situation North, who promise to be "a festival within a festival" with the help of the Punch Brothers' Noam Pikelny, the Foggy Hogtown Boys, the Infamous Stringdusters and the Wild Reeds. The bands plan to cap off the day with a performance of the Eagles' Hotel California with an "American twist."
Also, Grammy-nominated Native North American curator Kevin Howes will be hosting a showcase of Canadian indigenous music on July 9, when Willie Thrasher, Willy Mitchell, Duke Redbird and Eric Landry will all play. And among the other special events, Loudon Wainwright III will not only being playing the fest but receiving the Winnipeg Folk Festival's Artistic Achievement Award.
Tickets go on sale tomorrow (March 11), and you can get more information here on the festival website.
