It’s all yours at this year’s K-Days including even more bands, brews and barbeques
EDMONTON, AB – If music, margaritas and grilled meat is how you celebrate your K-Days, Northlands is excited to be bringing back South Grounds favourites Rib Fest and the Boardwalk Beach and Beer Gardens as well as announcing the brand new North Grounds barbeque and entertainment destination, Juicys Outlaw Grill and the K-Days North Stage Headliner Series.
“There’s no better way to celebrate summer in Edmonton than sitting on a patio, listening to live music with an ice-cold beverage in one hand and grilled meat in the other” says Sharilee Fossum, acting President & CEO. Northlands. “With even more outdoor entertainment opportunities including the new Outlaw Grill and North Stage Headliner Series and the return of Rib Fest and the Boardwalk Beach and Beer Gardens, we want Edmonton to make Northlands their destination for summer fun.”
At this year’s K-Days, we’re bringing in the barbeque by the truckload. Literally, because the ‘World’s Largest Barbeque’, Juicys Outlaw Grill, is making a pit stop at this year’s festival! Set in a semi-truck at over 20 feet high, weighing 27 tons and commanding nearly 100 square feet of space, Juicys Outlaw Grill is one beast of a barbeque capable of simultaneously cooking over 1,000 sizzling items. Placed on the North Grounds, Juicys Outlaw Grill comes complete with an outdoor patio – the perfect vantage point for enjoying the evening’s K-Days North Stage headliners.
Scheduled to perform each evening before the Koodonation headliners take the stage, the K-Days North Stage headliners presented by 92.5 Fresh FM and CISN Country 103.9 will shine the light on Edmonton and Western Canada’s burgeoning local music scene. With the adjoining Outlaw Grill and North Stage Beer Gardens presented by 630 CHED, the K-Days North Stage is the perfect destination to relax while enjoying the locally grown talent our city has to offer. Tune in to the following North Stage headliners each evening at 8 p.m. before the Koodonation Stage lights up:
July 18 – Zerbin
July 19 – I65
July 20 – PEAR
July 21 – Silhouettes and Accolades
July 22 – Tenille
July 23 – The Retrofitz
July 24 – The Charlie Jacobson Band
July 25 – Dirty Radio
When the sun goes down on the midway, the South Grounds is still the place to play. Prior to the headliners every evening on the Koodonation Stage, Edmonton’s favourite tune-spinner, DJ Harman B, will be dropping all of today’s best beats to get you on your feet! There is no better partner for great music than a great drink, so K-Days, Sonic 102.9, 91.7 The Bounce and CityTV are bringing back the Boardwalk Beach & Beer Gardens. Now introducing an extended libation menu to include the Margarita Bar, the Boardwalk Beach & Beer Gardens will continue to feature ice-cold brews, beach volleyball and the perfect vantage point to enjoy nightly Koodonation Stage headliners including Village People, Our Lady Peace, Marianas Trench, USS and more.
Satisfy even more of your carnivorous cravings on the South Grounds because fan-favourite Rib Fest is back to serve up all of your meaty favourites in one place! Presented by K-97, Capital FM and the Edmonton Sun, this year’s Rib Fest will feature savory slow-smoked slabs of meat from award winning masters of the grill, Boss Hoggs BBQ, Gator BBQ, Smokin’ Guns BBQ and Prairie Smoke n’ Spice BBQ.
