Hey, it’s Chantal. Sometimes it’s hard to keep track or be in the know about all the cool things going on in the city or online! Social media can get flooded, life can get chaotic, you know how it is. That’s what this is here for! Alternative Weekends is a nifty little series with the top 3 things happening in Edmonton or on SONiC, over the weekend. Who’s releasing a new album? Is there a SONiC artist live streaming? What can you do in Edmonton this weekend? Those questions will be answered here.


Here are 3 things to check out this weekend while you jam out to Lorde’s new album:

1. Rock out at the Together Again Concert Series

The Together Again Concert Series continues! This Friday, you can rock out to The Watchmen, Default, The Sheepdogs, and more.

$2 from every ticket purchased will be donated to Boyle Street and Hope Mission helping them support men, women, youth, and children experiencing poverty and homelessness in Edmonton.

The festival will take place outdoors at the Edmonton Exhibition Lands Racetrack Infield, where there’ll of course be a ton of food trucks too.
