FOCUS Wales announces Canadian team-up for 2019

Wrexham-based showcase festival FOCUS Wales has announced a new Canadian partnership.

In teaming up with BreakOut West, the event will be hosting seven new Western Canada-based acts across its three days.

Bad Animal (Alberta)
FRANKIIE (British Columbia)
Yes We Mystic (Manitoba)
Gunner & Smith (Saskatchewan)
Miesha & The Spanks (Alberta)

Malcolm-Jay (Manitoba)

FOCUS Wales’ Andy Jones says: “We’re very pleased to be renewing this partnership in 2019. BreakOut West offers a fantastic opportunity for artists from Wales to make their first important strides into the North American music market, and, equally, the partnerships are going to provide a gateway for the very best emerging Canadian artists to access the UK music industry through Wales.”

Tickets are on sale now.
