Event description

Close out Garden City Grooves Festival for a FREE evening of incredible music at First Met Hall, featuring a lineup of must-see performers—and a surprise headliner you won’t want to miss. Skyla J will set the mood with her melodic, dub-infused blend of house and soul with her six piece band. Skyla J's music radiates love and connection, making for an intimate and captivating experience. And for the grand finale? We are going to throw in a curve ball and add A MYSTERY band that you'll love and who will give us an unforgettable performance. The Earthly Delights, a roots-rock and reggae-infused sextet from Vancouver Island, bring a creative energy inspired by the surrealist works of Hieronymus Bosch. Known for their standout performances at events like the Victoria Ska & Reggae Fest and Filberg Fest, their Latin rhythms, reggae beats, and raw energy guarantee a dance floor takeover. Poncho, originally from Ghana and now making waves in Victoria, is known for combining Afrobeats, hip-hop, reggae, and dance into an electrifying sound. With his latest EP, SONOFTHESUN, Poncho is proving that music transcends language, connecting with audiences through sheer energy and emotion. Don't miss this free celebration of music, culture, and community in the heart of Downtown Victoria! All Ages. Bar for 19yrs+ w/ID. Kids 10 and under free with an adult.
