Upside Downtown Concert – Badlands
The Allied Arts Council of Lethbridge (AAC) is excited to announce the return of the successful Upside Downtown Concert, bringing free outdoor music to Downtown Lethbridge. Performances will take place on Rotary Square in front of Casa every Thursday in July and August from 5-7 pm. This summer, the series promises an exciting lineup of local talent, making it the perfect way to enjoy warm, shaded, evenings with friends and family. The concerts are free to attend and feature a licensed area for those wishing to enjoy a beverage while soaking in the music. A food truck will also be on-site during the performances.
The Upside Downtown Concert series aims to create a vibrant, inclusive atmosphere where music lovers of all ages can come together and enjoy high-quality live performances. An exciting addition this year will be the curated art presentation “Roots/Route” by Be.Trit featuring a mobile sculpture on the square as well as additional artwork presented within artist kiosks on site.
Upside Downtown is made possible thanks to the generous support of our community-minded sponsors including:
Badlands:
Lethbridge based alt country quartet Badlands pays homage to the near desert like conditions in southern Alberta. The band’s namesake provides a fitting backdrop to Ali cat’s songwriting musings that explore personal struggles, triumphs and temptations. Heart songs, after all. The stuff that’s at the centre of the country music canon. It’s the same distilled spirit that raised the likes of Sarah Shook & the Disarmers, the Turnpike Troubadours and others to come before. A mattress on your back is good to have, sure. Keep a look out for where cat and company choose to land as they explore the musical landscape that’s raised them.
