Concert promotion is not something the average person might think about: See an ad for a show, buy ticket to show, go to show. You might think the venue brought the artist in, and sometimes they do. But Sonic Concerts does a huge chunk of the legwork in Halifax, bringing you the artists you really want to see: War on Drugs and Alvvays at Jazz Fest, Stars at the Marquee, Feist at the Cohn, Jeff Tweedy in Wolfville? All Sonic shows. “On behalf of my teammates at Sonic Concerts, thanks for another successful year, Coast readers,” says honcho Louis Thomas. “Music fans in this city continue to consistently show up and let artists know why it’s worthwhile to make the trip to Halifax. Looking forward to bringing more great music out this way, along with the help of our amazing venue and festival partners.”
