SoberFest has just announced the lineup for their 5th annual event in Greater Victoria on August 15th.
This year will mark the third consecutive year the event will be taking place at Langford’s Starlight Stadium, with a full day of live music and community connection running from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m.
From the very beginning, SoberFest has been a one-of-a-kind event, maintaining an alcohol-free, marijuana-free and drug-free music festival. It aims to be inclusive by providing a high-energy, positive live music setting with no temptation of the various vices typically found in festival settings.
This year, SoberFest is bringing out a few big names, some up-and-coming acts and is filling out the rest of the schedule with local talent.
The big headliner this year is the one and only Bif Naked. She is a Canadian punk rock icon who came to fame in the 1990s. When she isn’t giving electrifying performances she is often motivational speaking on her journey with sobriety and personal growth.
Another big name at SoberFest some may remember from the early 2000s is Fefe Dobson. She is known for her pop/punk-rock influences, with hits like “Take Me Away” and “Everything.”
Other artists on the festival include Moontricks, Snak The Ripper, Tyler Shaw, Special Guest MC Maestro Fresh Wes, AIC-Facelift, Caleb Hart and Friends, PINDN, Scott Monk and lastly, Stax x Lord Condor.
SoberFest sees itself as more than just a festival, but as a growing community movement, with proceeds from ticket sales, sponsorships and donations directly supporting the Rewired Recovery Foundation. This organization helps British Columbians access life-changing addiction recovery programs.
“SoberFest is about showing people that connection, celebration, and world-class music don’t require substances,” says the organizing team.
“It’s about creating a space where people feel safe, supported, and part of something bigger.”
Rewired Recovery has helped over 100 individuals access treatment, and has contributed more than $2.5 million in recovery support efforts.
