Evolve 2012 //// July 20, 21, 22 : Antigonish Nova Scotia Canada http://www.evolvefestival.com Wed, 16 May 2012 17:55:17 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 2012 Evolve Festival Lineup Announcement! http://www.evolvefestival.com/2012/04/2012-evolve-festival-lineup-announcement/ http://www.evolvefestival.com/2012/04/2012-evolve-festival-lineup-announcement/#comments Fri, 20 Apr 2012 19:20:47 +0000 admin http://www.evolvefestival.com/?p=1986 Continue reading →]]> Happy 420 Evolvers!  Bet you weren’t expecting a gift this year, were you?  But we have a nice surprise for you on this happy day – the 2012 Evolve Festival lineup!

The ancient Mayans believed that 2012 will mark the end of the world.   This is no doubt a sad prospect – but it’s motivated us at Evolve HQ to prepare our most powerful lineup of musical performers yet for this year’s  Evolve Festival – over 100 acts in total!  We couldn’t have the world blow up without delivering one (final?) mind-blowing music extravaganza.

For 3 days and nights this July 20, 21 & 22, 2012, Evolve’s epic lineup of bands, artists, and dj’s will deliver a musical experience like no other.   Have we ever let you down before?

Check out the exciting list of performers HERE – and keep your eyes peeled for future announcements.  It’s time to book the weekend off work.  It’s time to buy your tickets.  It’s time to get excited.  It’s time to Evolve.

Can’t wait to see you there.

Love,
Evolve HQ
