Prolific American blues-rock guitarist and singer-songwriter Walter Trout started as a sideman for John Lee Hooker, Percy Mayfield, and Big Mama Thornton. He went on to become the lead guitarist for Canned Heat, and then for John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, before forming the Walter Trout Band, Walter Trout and the Radicals, and then simply Walter Trout. After a liver transplant in 2013, he was named “the ultimate, supreme bluesman of the 20th and 21st centuries” by Metal Zone magazine. His 2019 album, Survivor Blues, debuted number one on the Billboard Blues Chart for two consecutive weeks. His 2022 album, Ride, is a stunning collection of charging momentum and modern energy, and his latest album, Broken, was released in 2024. With an extensive discography, multiple Blues Music Awards, and British Blues Awards, Walter Trout is the beating heart of the modern blues rock scene. Last playing McPherson Playhouse in 2023, now you can witness this blues master and his band make their rockin’ return to Victoria!

Pop Up Drag Performance by:
Cece
Cute and Charming, that’s Cece. She’s an Indigiqueer sweetie with the name so nice you’ve gotta say it twice. This flirtatious fireweed left the big lake for the Salish sea a few moons ago. She’s performed across the North, the West, her bedroom, your bedroom, and has now returned to lək̓ʷəŋən territory. She’s the blossom that’ll have you toss ’em 🤑💵🌸
Music by:
👱🏼‍♀️ 🩷 Barbie Aphelion is the sapphic people’s choice DJ of Victoria, with over 15 years behind the decks—including 8 formative years in New York City. From New York Fashion Week to Brooklyn’s iconic Mood Ring, to local haunts like Vicious Poodle for U-Haul and leather dyke nights, her resume is as stacked as her USB.
Barbie’s on-stage energy is intoxicating (hey Britney), and her connection with the crowd is something you have to feel to understand. Her sets are high-femme and tell a unique story every time—unapologetically wet, dripping in cvnty vocals, dirty basslines, a genre-blurring blend of house, Top 40, R&B, hyperpop, and whatever her divine intuition tells her to play.
After a wildly busy year—including a packed fundraiser at a legendary Montreal strip club with an all-trans cast, raising serious coin for a local trans SW organization—she’s gearing up for a Western Canada Tour. Let your inner diva loose, dance it out, and maybe even find someone to make out with.
👽 🚀 Krista Mac is a queer, enby and feminist performer who loves to throw it back to classic songs throughout their sets. Based on the west coast in Vancouver, B.C., they have opened for artists such as Cobrah, Manilla Luzon, The Funk Hunters, Whitney Day, Netta, and TT The Artist. With a strong love of dance pop, edm and deep house Krista Mac draws inspiration from large-scale festival performances to keep any crowd moving.
