CJSW & Sled Island present: The Nightmare on 7th Avenue Halloween Party

A graphic for the annual CJSW and Sled Island Halloween Party is mostly solid orange and black in colour, but features an upside down illustration of a colourful cartoon world where cars and houses have smiling faces, multi-coloured with pink, yellow, and green. A cartoon CJSW station floats in the middle. Text on the graphic reads “Presented by Sled Island, CJSW and Last Best. Nightmare on 7th Avenue Halloween Party. Local bands. Costume contest. Video dance party. Rave Cave. Royal Canadian Legion #1. October 26. Doors at 8pm. 9pm – Late. Beer provided by Last Best, including the special Radio Town lager.

A graphic for Explosions in the Sky "The End Tour. With guests Sunglaciers" - taking place September 21 at the Palace Theatre in Calgary, AB. Presented by Live Nation and Sled Island. Behind the text is a sepia tone photo of mountains with a cloudy sky above.

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!
