While there is always something fun to do in Victoria, there are certain events and festivals here that the whole city looks forward to every year. These are really the times you want to come visit, and we’re happy to say that one of these times is almost here! Book your tickets NOW for…
RIFFLANDIA!
Victoria’s favourite music festival is back! Taking place this year from September 13-16, this is four days of the very best in modern pop music, taking over multiple venues in downtown Victoria for the ultimate festival experience!
Combining some of the biggest acts in the world with incredible up-and-coming local talent, Rifflandia helps you keep hip to what’s happening now!
This year, headliners include breakout Canadian R&B Star Daniel Caesar whose heartfelt falsetto will make you feel love out on the dancefloor! Jessie Reyez, the vocalist with the unmistakable style who has been tearing up the charts both in Canada and throughout the world! EDM pioneers Adventure Club! And if James Brown was the Godfather of Soul, then you can catch his godchildren by watching his original band, The JBs! Or get ready to dance with one of the most well-known DJs of all time, Mixmaster Mike of The Beastie Boys!
Want to check out some homegrown talent? Then definitely catch Chad Vangaalen’s set for some twisted, folk-inspired music that will warp your brain in all the best ways, or watch The Harpoonist & The Axe-Murderer for some ballsy blues-rock that will get you dancing! And that’s not mentioning standouts like The Zolas, Hey Ocean!, and many, many more… over 150 in total!
It’s all a ton of fun and we really hope you’ll make it. If you are, book your room now at the Days Inn Victoria on The Harbour for accommodations close to the action!
