Is the Manitoba summer too hot for you? Well, you’re in luck! Get ready, Westman—Brandon is about to get splashed by the Great Big Sea!

On June 17th, Newfoundland folk/rock group Great Big Sea announced they will be hitting the Wheat City as a part of their “XX” Tour 2013. Brandon’s Keystone Centre will play host to the group on October 30th, 2013, with tickets becoming available for purchase at 10:00 am on June 21st.

Neil Thomson, Keystone General Manager, expressed excitement for the upcoming show. “We’re keeping the year of concerts alive in Brandon; these guys have been here before, they know how to please and engage an audience. And with the new stage, sound system and set-up in Westman Communications Group Place, Great Big Sea is sure to put on an awesome concert. It’s going to be a great party!”
