Burger Wars in support of NEO Kids Foundation!
During the month of August, we have invited restaurants/cafés in Greater Sudbury to participate in a burger frenzy to battle for the title of ‘Best Burger’ in town, while raising funds for NEO Kids Foundation! How it works- Burger lovers will visit as many of the participating restaurants as possible in August and vote for their favourite burger on our website www.sudburyburgerwars.com For every burger sold at each location, $1 will be donated to NEO Kids Foundation to help keep our children closer to home. NEO Kids Foundation raises funds to purchase vital pieces of equipment, conduct life-changing research, and increase awareness for children’s health needs in Northeastern Ontario. #burgerwars #neokidsfoundation

James and the Giant Peach
From the composers of The Greatest Showman, La La Land and Dear Evan Hansen comes this incredibly moving and heart-pounding rendition of one of Roald Dahl’s fantastic tale of a boy, his insect friends and their amazing journey across the ocean on a giant piece of fruit! When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion that results in a tremendous peach... and launches a journey of enormous proportions. Suddenly, James finds himself in the center of the gigantic peach, among human-sized insects with equally oversized personalities, but after it falls from the tree and rolls into the ocean, the group faces hunger, sharks and plenty of disagreements. Thanks to James' quick wit and creative thinking, the residents learn to live and work together as a family. The dangerous voyage is a success, but the adventure takes a whole new twist once they land on the Empire State Building.

UP HERE: Snotty Nose Rez Kids / Reykjavíkurdætur / Ric Wilson
Up Here 5 kicks off with a nice big hip-hop show featuring Haisla Nation's Snotty Nose Rez Kids, Iceland's Reykjavíkurdætur and Chicago's Ric Wilson. Presented by Downtown Sudbury. SNOTTY NOSE REZ KIDS Snotty Nose Rez Kids are the combined talents of Yung Trybez and Young D, hailing from the West Coast Haisla Nation, “The People of the Snow.” They blend trap beats with woven lyricism into thought-provoking club bangers that challenge Indigenous stereotypes. Audiences dance, sweat, and leave energized with new knowledge. The group is behind the song Skoden that inflamed social media in 2017. They’re bringing the fresh energy and new sound from their new album TRAPLINE to this year’s festival. REYKJAVÍKURDÆTUR Reykjavíkurdætur is an irresistibly radical, all-women hip-hop collective from Iceland united by their love of hip-hop and the urge to rebel against the conservative misogynistic values of modern society. They have made a huge impact on the music scene in Iceland since they first appeared in 2013. Now they’re taking the world: tearing down walls and plowing the way for future generations. P.S. It’s pronounced Rik-Kia-Vik-Kur-Die-Tur. RIC WILSON Ric Wilson is Chicago's nouveau disco inspired rap superstar. Activist, community goofball and prolific composer, the 23-year-old electrified motivational funka hop pop poet has a whole lot to prove to the world.

UP HERE: Simply Saucer / Art d’Ecco
Legendary proto-punk psychedelia band Simply Saucer make a highly anticipated stop in Sudbury! Presented by Stack Brewing. SIMPLY SAUCER Simply Saucer were formed on the hardscrabble streets of Hamilton, Ontario, these sci-fried proto-punks produced a hybrid of proto-punk and psychedelia in the mid-’70s. Hardly noticed outside of their hometown at the time, their album Cyborg’s Revisited (described as an “explosive time capsule”) was rediscovered and rereleased in 1989 and now they’re touring regularly and recording with a hopeful eye to the future. ART D'ECCO Art d'Ecco is a product of the Gulf Islands of the Pacific Northwest and is a multitude: an unapologetic, inclusive rock and roll mystic in a wig and lipstick. The fluidity that d’Ecco embraces had its day in the sun with glam rock’s celebration of androgyny, but the mainstream in 2019 can be painfully lacking in beyond-the-binary experiences. d’Ecco wants to change that (and says “it might make some people uncomfortable!”) TICKETS / 19 + 15$ advance / 20$ at the door Free for children 12 and under. uphere.com/tickets 🔵🔺🔶💚 SIMPLY SAUCER Simply Saucer est un groupe formé dans les rues dures de Hamilton, en Ontario. Au milieu des années 70, ces proto-punks à la sci-fried produisent une oeuvre hybride de proto-punk et de psychédélisme. À peine remarqué au début, leur album Cyborg’s Revisited sera plus tard décrit comme une capsule explosive et sera redécouvert puis réédité en 1989. Aujourd’hui, ils se partent en tournée et enregistrent avec un regard optimiste sur l’avenir. ART D'ECCO Sans compromis, Art d'Ecco est un mystique rock’n’roll inclusif arborant fièrement une perruque et du rouge à lèvres. La fluidité des genres qu’embrasse Art d’Ecco était au sommet de sa forme lors de l’époque du glam rock et de la célébration de l’androgynéité des années ‘70, mais n'occupe plus la même...
