The Back Alley has unveiled another musical guest set to perform at the venue's new summer tent this year.
Presented by CJAY92, British rockers Bush, known for hits like Glycerine, Comedown, Everything Zen and The Chemicals Between Us, will play on Thursday, July 13.
"It’s an absolute honor for us to welcome Gavin and the guys from Bush to Calgary," said Kalman Goudkuil, the CEO of Calgary-based event company True Rhythm.
This year marks the first time The Back Alley will have a summer tent.
Located in the nightclub's parking lot in the 4600 block of Macleod Trail South, it will feature concerts, special events and corporate parties.
The first concert announcement for the venue was Sean Paul, who will perform on Tuesday, July 11.
Officials then announced Our Lady Peace would play on July 7.
The 2023 Calgary Stampede runs from July 7 to 16, and The Back Alley summer tent will be open starting on Stampede Sneak-a-Peek on July 6.
A hiring fair will take place on April 22 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
