Ever After 2018, a Canadian music festival that's located in the Bingemans Centre in Kitchener, Ontario, is set to run for its fourth consecutive year on June 8th until the 10th. This year's headliners include Excision, Claude Von Stroke, Flux Pavilion, Doctor P, and Illesium, focusing on a bass-heavy sound that appeals to dubstep and drum and bass fans.
Although the festival will continue to promote these genres at the forefront, this year will see the inclusion of a house stage as well. Here, Dirtybird Records' Claude Von Stroke will be joined by Mark Knight, AC Slater, Drezo, Daniel Portman, Will Clarke, Dombresky, and DJ-producer duo Chase & Christensen.
In addition to the stacked lineup of DJs and producers that will take the stage, Ever After 2018 will offer an expansive water park, a game zone, carnival rides, and a Vendor Village with an array of food and merchandise for festivalgoers to enjoy over the course of the three days.
Currently, tickets to Ever After 2018 are available at everafterfest.com, where general one-day passes are $70 CAD, and three-day passes are $139 CAD. So far, the general three-day Rabbit Hole passes have sold out, as have the three-day VIP experiences.
Those looking to camp on and off-site can find a range of cost-effective packages on the Ever After site too, as well as shuttle bus tickets that leave from surrounding areas like Toronto, Vaughan, Mississauga, Guelph, and Hamilton.
