Organizers already announced a revitalized model for this year’s festival.

For the first time, the festival will feature one stage at the Bessborough Gardens instead of two in downtown Saskatoon. Programming at the TD Mainstage will offer five days of free music, and five days of ticketed shows at one venue.

Organizers anticipate 110-plus live performances and events throughout the 10 days of music.

Another addition is the new LB Gardens Pass. For $260 plus GST, it guarantees admission to all ticketed performances during the 2019 festival, and it’s transferable between friends and family members.

LB Gardens passes and single tickets go on sale to the general public on April 12 at 12 p.m. CT.

The free programming lineup will be announced on May 1.
