Fernie, BC – It’s the announcement you’ve been waiting for, to hear who will be featured on our closing weekend, this April 15th & 16th at the 9th annual Fernival Festival, the biggest free outdoor concert in the Canadian!
Kicking our Saturday off will be the Backroad Traveler Band! This Calgary based band is well known for putting on a high energy show in bars and at festivals including the Calgary Stampede. They’ll be bringing us the classic rock we all love to hear at Fernival, check them out rocking our plaza with covers by bands such as Tragically Hip, Tom Petty, ZZ Top, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Kid Rock, Bryan Adams, John Cougar, Rolling Stones and even more!
After the Backroad Traveler Band wraps up their set get ready for a DJ to keep the Fernie stoke going throughout the afternoon, Skratch Bastid! Over the past 15 years, Canada’s own Skratch Bastid has been spreading his skills and name around the world, one sweaty crowd at a time. Come check him out playing from our big stage in the plaza and get those bodies moving!
Wrapping our day up will be an epic performance by Wide Mouth Mason! Known for putting on exceptionally crowd-pleasing shows, these critically-acclaimed musicians will be playing hits from their 20-year career, during which they have toured the world and built fan-bases throughout North America, Europe and even China.
