Rock The Shores
It all started back in 2012 when Atomique Productions brought The Tragically Hip to town for a one day concert featuring additional performances by Sam Roberts Band, Current Swell, and Jets Overhead.
The format and genres of the festival has fluctuated from year to year, but their goal of providing a large-scale music festival with a local feel has remained true. Highlights over the years have included multiple performances by the late Gord Downie, a completely packed field of 12,000+ for The Black Keys, the Seven Mile Social (the largest all-local bands concert in Vancouver Island’s history), and many more.
After a year hiatus (that was tough), Rock The Shores is back in 2018 with one of the most diverse and eclectic lineups to date. Each day is curated with a different feel to please those whose musical interests span both genres and decades.
