Interstellar Rodeo: 12 Artists You Need To Listen To

Posted on Aug 15, 2017 by The Forks Market

 

There's only three days until Interstellar Rodeo, and we can't wait to have guitars back in our faces since we've been deprived of music since the end of the Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries Canada Games Festival. Sure, it wasn't that long ago, but we got very used to the idea of music flowing constantly through Festival Field.

Since then, we've been watching new videos, listening to new singles, and singing along to old favourites.

We're still a little stunned that Beck will be playing at The Forks. BECK. And we can't wait to welcome back Shakey Graves, who has played the Winnipeg Folk Festival on a couple of occasions, and locals, Leonard Sumner and Figure Walking. Never mind Father John Misty and Canadian music legends, Broken Social Scene.

We're spoiled to say the least.

Okay, so that is what you need to listen to get yourself properly prepped for this rodeo:
