We are coming up on the last night of the 9th annual SKA fest The venues are the Inner Harbour and The Victoria Curling Club. We've got some massive talent in town - a great line-up for anyone who likes SKA of any flavour. The shows are all ages with a Beer Garden.

Tonight at the curling rink 7:30 - 1:30 is the last night with the headliner - THE SKATALITES. Also up tonight are EASY STAR ALL -STARS, from New York.

The warm up show today is 12:30-4pm in the Inner Harbour at Ship Point. Playing are Skavenjah, Kiltlifters and The Karmacanix. It's free!

Hearing the festival has been a bit of a disaster this year with the weather limiting crowds.

The Victoria Ska and Reggae Festival is widely known for its international flavour, with past appearances by acts from as far away as Italy, New Zealand, Colombia, and South Korea.

 

But for the festival’s first in-person installment since 2019, the Canadian acts are the ones jumping off the page. Tickets to concerts featuring Tanika Charles, Bedouin Soundclash, Kobo Town, Five Alarm Funk, and The Gaff, among other Canadians, have been selling extremely well.

The Victoria Ska & Reggae Festival returns June 24-28 at four venues, with headlining performances by Santa Barbara, Calif. skate punks Lagwagon, Oakland, Calif. hip-cop collective Souls of Mischief, and Toronto-bred reggae rockers Bedouin Soundclash. The 27th installment of the popular festival will also feature Jamaican dancehall singer Charly Black, New Zealand reggae-funk favourites The Black Seeds, Vancouver’s Five Alarm Funk, Seattle’s Clinton Fearon and the Boogie Brown Band, Mexican reggae act Antidoping, and Florida punk quartet Against All Authority, among others.

Souls of Mischief might just be the most featured group of Ska Fest. It feels like they’re there every other year.
