The Sled Island Rock Lotto returns to the Palomino Smokehouse on Saturday, November 30!

Once again, we’ll bring together 25 musicians from various backgrounds and draw names from a hat to form one-off bands for one night only, with less than 10 hours to write and perform new material! ⁠

This one-of-a-kind event is focused on creating meaningful connections between musicians just starting their music journey in the city and artists more familiar with the Calgary music scene, with the goal of fostering a more diverse music ecosystem and increasing equitable access to creative opportunities for all.

The lineup of participating musicians will be announced very soon, so stay tuned!

Tickets go on sale this Friday, November 8 at noon MST. For more information, visit Showpass.com/SledLotto2024.

Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door. If you would like to attend but ticket prices are a barrier, please contact info@sledisland.com.

Thanks to the Ansari-Cook Foundation for making this event possible! ⁠

Huge shout out to Mike Hooves for the awesome new poster art!

Sled Island and Live Nation are very proud to present Explosions in the Sky at The Palace Theatre on Saturday, September 21! ⁠
⁠
The iconic post-rock outfit was originally slated to take the stage at Sled Island 2013 before the festival was forced to cancel due to the Alberta floods. Now the group is bringing The End Tour to Calgary in a highly celebrated return! ⁠

On top of that, psych-pop hometown heroes Sunglaciers will be kicking off the night!
