Day 1: Saturday, August 2nd
Allan Rayman
Mysterious and magnetic, this genre-blurring singer-songwriter fuses R&B, grunge, hip-hop, and indie rock into raw, cinematic soundscapes.
The Free Label
High-energy funk, disco, and R&B rolled into one six-piece dance machine. Think glitter, groove, and pure party vibes.
Uncle Strut
From the dive bar to headline shows at Vancouver’s Hollywood Theatre. Sharing the stage with legendary acts such as The Goo Goo Dolls, George Thorogood, Serena Ryder and Baby Jake. Vancouver-based Uncle Strut’s live shows are full of raw energy reminiscent of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Beatles. Their debut album, Home At Last, blends the laid-back charm of Australian surf rock with folk and pop influences, drawing comparisons to Spacey Jane and Ocean Alley. With standout singles like “7:30,” “Love,” “Waiting For You,” and “Natalie,” Uncle Strut’s vibrant energy and kaleidoscopic style make both their album and live shows unmissable.
Heads up! Uncle Strut won’t be performing this year. ☹️ We’re bummed too…. But good news: the incredibly talented Andrew Judah is stepping in, and we can’t wait for you to hear him!
Windmills
Emotional indie-pop from local multi-instrumentalist Cory Myraas, crafting layered, cinematic songs with lyrical depth
Mr. M
A Kelowna DJ mainstay spinning everything from funky hip-hop to big bass beats and genre-bending floor-fillers.
Day 2: Sunday, August 3rd
Chad Brownlee
Platinum-certified Canadian country star with 130M+ streams and a string of Billboard hits. From “Forever’s Gotta Start Somewhere” to his new anthem “Reason to Love,” Chad brings the fireworks to close out NESTFEST.
Robyn Ottolini
Viral smash “F-150” put her on the map—now this fiercely honest, hilariously relatable singer-songwriter is blazing her own trail with small-town truth bombs and bold pop-country bangers.
Daniel James McFadyen
Nova Scotia’s indie-folk gem. Known for his immersive, interactive shows and award-winning storytelling. New album coming soon, and this is your sneak peek.
Shalisa
A fearless voice in Canada’s country scene, blending rock, soul, and grit. With hits like “Bad Hangover” and “Mirror,” plus a killer band, she’s a full-force vibe.
The Midnite Maverick
A shadowy DJ alter ego of DJ Invizible, spinning country-soul grooves and dusty dancefloor beats. Giddy-up meets get-down.
As the sun sets and the music fills the air, you’ll find yourself surrounded by a community of fellow music lovers, sharing in the joy and excitement of live performances. NESTFEST is more than just a festival; it’s a celebration of creativity, connection, and the pure magic of music. Don’t miss out on making memories that will last a lifetime. See you there!
