Event Description

Kick off the Garden City Grooves Festival weekend with an electrifying night of music featuring headliner Cadence Weapon and an all-star lineup of talent at First Met Hall.

Canadian rap trailblazer Cadence Weapon, winner of the 2021 Polaris Music Prize, will take the stage for a performance that blends cutting-edge beats, sharp lyricism, and a bold creative vision. Known for pushing boundaries and delivering unforgettable live shows, Cadence Weapon is a headliner you don’t want to miss.

Supporting the night is Victoria’s own Apex Breaks, a funk-forward collective known for their tight grooves and high-energy jams. Also joining the lineup is Hot Pot, serving up a sizzling blend of soul, hip-hop, R&B, and dance beats.

Rounding out the night is Curtis Clearsky and the Constellationz, a dynamic group that fuses hip-hop, reggae, and funk with thought-provoking lyrics and contagious rhythms.

Don't miss this free night of genre-blending performances and good vibes in the heart of Downtown Victoria!
