Few summer concerts in Calgary have the staying power of the Oxford STOMP, and this year's 36th edition at Prince's Island Park on Friday, July 10 is shaping up to be one of the best yet.
Headlining the evening are the Arkells, one of Canada's most celebrated modern rock bands, known for delivering what the band themselves describe as the soundtrack to the greatest night of your life. Joining them are Grammy Award-winning American rock band Portugal. The Man, and Los Angeles-based indie pop trio Cannons, whose sun-soaked, 80s-infused electronic sound and nostalgic vocals have earned them a devoted following. Canadian blues rock duo The Blue Stones kick off the night.
The Oxford STOMP has a track record of bringing marquee talent to Prince's Island Park — last year's edition featured Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member Sheryl Crow alongside the Sheepdogs, Dear Rouge, and Hotel Mira.
Proceeds from the event benefit the Calgary Food Bank, and the legendary after-party with free entry for concert-goers returns at Wildhorse Saloon.
