The City of Estevan and Affinity Place have announced a big attraction coming to the city for next year.
Gord Bamford’s #REDNEK music fest tour will be coming to the city on June 6, 2020.
The presale will run from Nov. 13 at 10 a.m. to Nov. 14 at 10 p.m. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Nov. 15 at 10 a.m.
Tickets are available online at www.ticketmaster.ca or at the Visitor Information Centre.
Bamford is a multiple Juno, Canadian Country Music Association award and Country Music Association award winner as a singer and a songwriter. He will be hitting the road across Canada in 2020 with this tour that will showcase a broad range of homegrown country music artists including the hottest emerging acts in Canada.
Along with Bamford, the show stars multiplatinum, Juno Award winner Jess Moskaluke, and an incredible line-up of rising talent including Andrew Hyatt, Cory Marks, Duane Steele, Eric Ethridge, Ghost Boy and JoJo Mason.
The #REDNEK Music Fest tour is set to kick off on Feb. 21 at the Sandman Centre in Kamloops, B.C. The first round of dates will cover western Canada into the spring, with an eastern Canadian round of shows expected to be announced soon.
The tour coincides with Bamford’s latest single To Get To You featuring Jess Moskaluke and the success of his previous single #REDNEK, both from his forthcoming ninth studio album. The theme #REDNEK inspired him to conceive a tour consisting of likeminded artists.
“I’ve always wanted to do a traveling festival where you can hear a great variety of new music,” he said. “I want to hit as many towns in this country as possible. The shows will predominantly be in arenas, but we’re not afraid to go to smaller towns with more intimate venues. I’m very excited to share the stage with the highly talented Jess Moskaluke, and to sing our new duet for the fans.”
Moskaluke, who hails from Langenburg shares those sentiments, adding, “I’m thrilled to be joining Gord on his #REDNEK cross Canada tour. Gord has an incredibly loyal fanbase, and I can’t wait to get back out on the road to share some new music we’ve been working on as well as some fan favourites, with everyone.”
