It’s almost that time of year again! One of 987‘s favourite festivals is back and better than ever. Rifflandia will be taking over Victoria, BC for its 11th edition from September 13th to 16th, and we can’t wait!

This year they’re bringing in some of 2018’s hottest artists such as Daniel Caesar, Jessie Reyes, Adventure Club, Lights, and 987‘s personal fave (we know we shouldn’t pick favourites but w/e): Bishop Briggs. We can’t forget to mention some BC legends, The Zolas and Hey Ocean!

As usual, the festival’s flagship main stage (and side stage) will be located at Royal Athletic Park, just minutes from downtown Victoria. For those of you who have never been, imagine this: world class music, green grass, delicious food + beer, and rad company. *All Ages*

If you’re like us and want the festival to keep going through the night, Rifflandia offers a couple night stages. Just walking distance from Royal Athletic Park, on Discovery St; this is where the night begins 😉 They have an impressive slate of artists set to play, so bring your dancing shoes! Sorry kiddos, this area is 19+
