Arts writer Mike Devlin picks his favourite upcoming events, including Langford Rocks at Starlight Stadium on Saturday
Tickets: $64.90 from eventbrite.ca
Why: A festival built around the song catalogues of several classic rock staples is set for Starlight Stadium on Saturday. Tributes to Creedence Clearwater Revival , David Bowie , The Tragically Hip and Tom Petty will gather before fans who no longer have the opportunity to see the iconic acts responsible for the source material. That makes this first-year event a can’t-miss proposition.
Why: There’s a lot going on inside the music of multi-instrumentalist Roberto Carlos Lange, who was born in Florida to Ecuadorian parents. As the shape-shifting Helado Negro, he mixes dreamlike pop with art-school experimentation, the results of which are carefully layered on top of a hypnotic rhythmic foundation. Sung in both English and Spanish, his is a high-brow output, with zero concessions for commercial appeal.
