Over the past few years, the Rifflandia festival has been breathed some new and much-needed life into the Victoria music scene, keeping the summer party of ska fest, EMF and the rest going for an extra month before the rain starts falling and everyone heads inside for another long, wet winter. This year Rifflandia is moving to a bigger location, and they’ve doubled their capacity so that more people can enjoy the show. This year’s headliners include City and Colour, Broken Social Scene, De La Soul and Cold War Kids. Check out the full lineup here: http://2011.rifflandia.com

Personally, I’m really excited to see Broken Social Scene, but the great thing about Rifflandia is that there’s something for everyone: rock, hiphop, folk, indie, electro… whatever music you’re into, there’s something for you.

If you’re coming to Victoria from out-of-town and need a place to stay, check out Ocean Island. All Rifflandia-ers get 10% off their dorm beds! Just tell them you’re coming for Rifflandia, and they’ll give you the discount.

And then during the festival, take a dinner break at the Ocean Island Cafe and you’ll get 20% off main dishes!

Who are you excited to see at Rifflandia 2011?
