The World Ski and Snowboard Festival (WSSF) has revealed it's upcoming Outdoor Music Series lineup, packed with festival alumni and performers bearing strong ties to Whistler.
Metis-Slovak Canadian singer-songwriter Ruby Waters headlines the Skullcandy Stage on April 10, but not before the currently to-be-determined victor of WSSF's Battle of the Bands opens things up for her.
Come April 11, world-renowned DJ/producer The Gaff delivers his trademark fusion of bass, hip-hop and electronica while Fort Knox Five Live returns after previously playing at last year's Whistler Summer Concert Series. Afterwards, get ready for DJ Foxy Moron to usher in the weekend as many of Earth's top skiers go for gold at The Grind.
Locals know A Whole Lotta Led as Canada's top Led Zeppelin tribute group, and they'll be on hand to kick off April 12 alongside Moka Only, a beloved member of the underground hip-hop landscape. Later that day, expect Canadian hip-hop pioneers Swollen Members to perform and DJ Vinyl Ritchie to lend a soundtrack to The Grind Snowboard Finals.
Last but not least, April 13 will showcase Vancouver-based fusion act Wasabi Collective and Fernie's five-piece alternative folk band Shred Kelly.
All performances are held daily from 2:30 to 5 p.m. at Skiers Plaza, and they're free for festival-goers.
