Jay Funk Dawg Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 THE 9th ANNUAL EVOLVE MUSIC AND AWARENESS FESTIVAL 3 days of opening minds and shaking booties in a spectacular Maritime oceanside setting! featuring: , DJ MARK FARINA, BATTLES, BENVENUTO RUSSO DUO, THE JIMMY SWIFT BAND, SLOWCOASTER, THAT 1 GUY, SKRATCH BASTID, GRATEFULLY DEADICATED SOUNDSYSTEM, CHAMELEON PROJECT and so much more! For complete lineup and ticket information please visit www.evolvefestival.com Limited number of tickets will be sold -- only 400 early bird passes available! $120 in advance, and $135 at the gate Publicity:360 Degrees Artists **** The countdown is on for the 9th Annual Evolve Music and Awareness Festival! This staple of the East Coast summer music scene will take place over the weekend of July 25-27, set in a spectacular location with breathtaking Atlantic coast vistas just outside Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada. Evolve is a grassroots festival that has grown to become a showcase for music, environmental issues; and a celebration of the beauty that is uniquely Maritime. It is entirely dedicated to sustainable environmental stewardship; the largest festival of its kind in Canada. Thousands will enjoy, a significant percentage of which will travel from outside the province to enjoy three days of great music from over 40 different acts on multiple stages. Evolve strives to present the best musical performances of the summer, and this year is no exception. With new favourites and old, we will dance ourselves across the musical spectrum --from rock to jazz to funk, from world music, to hip hop, to electronica, and back again. From festival mainstays like Slowcoaster, Grand Theft Bus and the Gratefully Deadicated Soundsystem, to the return of the still-talked-about That One Guy, and Newfoundland's Hey Rosetta!, Evolve offers something for just about everyone's live music taste buds. And when the sun goes down, the DJs come out to shine – from Steve the Viking to Sonny D, Mizz Maxine to DJ Dono. Besides offering amazing music, Evolve is committed to being one of Canada's greenest events – and this year has upped the ante by declaring the festival to be zero-waste. Evolve strives to set a standard for sustainable festivals -- by utilizing renewable energy sources, using recycled paper and vegetable-based inks for all printed materials, biodegradable plates and utensils for food vending, organic cotton and hemp t-shirts, reducing waste and environmental impact and most significantly providing a forum to network and learn more about social and environmental issues. In addition, Evolve will plant a tree for every ticket sold, in cooperation with In Ticketing and Trees For the Future. Also on the holistic awareness tip, there will be a number of workshops offered in the Awareness Village. From the magic of wheatgrass, to straw bale construction, to yoga, massage, and Reiki, the festival has many opportunities to help you evolve your body, mind and soul. The three-day Evolve festival has general camping as well as a quiet/family camping area. There will be full-service facilities including running water, portable washrooms, clean drinking water, and shower/wash stations. There is also a kids' play zone with organized activities and music for the youngsters and, as usual, a vendor's area will offer a diverse range of scrumptious food to keep people energized. The vendors' area will also feature many unique crafts and garments. Exclaim Magazine says "Evolve Serves as the summer's marquee event of the Maritimes" Pitchfork Media chose Evolve Festival as one of their top Festival in their guide to the 2008 summer festival season CBC Radio says" Evolve is one of the Top Ten Summer Festivals of 2008" Elizabeth May, Green Party Leader of Canada says "Evolve is a great event and rapidly recognized as THE alternative and green music event of the summer. Hats off to the Evolve Team!"

Northern Wish Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 That is because the previous year some of the locals made counterfeit bracelets and made a total farce of paying for admission......This is a sad year for me as it will mark the first time I have not been at more Evolve Fests than I have actually attended.
