Sled Island Announces 2009 Line-Up

Posted by Chris Kelly on May 01, 2009
This June from the 24th- 27th in Calgary, Alberta an island of amazing music will emerge in the downtown of the oil city called Sled Island.

Thanks to our friends who do an amazing job at booking this thing we've got the full list of acts slated to perform this year and it doesn't disappoint, maybe that's because a number of the groups were hand picked by guest festival curator Colin Newman from the influential British art-rock band Wire. Highlights from the schedule include Liars, Andrew W. K., The Breeders, Holy F*ck, and Final Fantasy.
