Hey there, time traveller!

Get ready to party in a literal hole in the wall.
On June 4, SpaceLand will take over a small vacant lot between two buildings on Portage Avenue near Edmonton Street, converting it into a pop-up party that will feature music, video, art, food and comedy.
The one-day event is organized by music label Head In The Sand in partnership with Manitoba Music. Bands slated to play include Regina’s Juno- and Polaris-nominated indie rock six-piece Rah Rah, along with local acts such as electro pop outfit VIKINGS, synthpop duo Ghost Twin and mod-rock pair Duotang, among many others.
The party is described as “a nod to the classic games at the Magicland arcade that once brought youth downtown,” and also “references our city’s abundance of wide open space, and our history of under-using that space.”
The Manitoba Association of Landscape Architects is also taking part in the fun, creating a physical experience for visitors based on the themes of “Space Invaders and stepping into another dimension.”
“Our city plays such a prominent role in the voice of our artistic community,” says Head In The Sand’s Michael Falk in the news release. “SpaceLand’s goal is to celebrate and amplify that relationship”
The festival is expected to run from 3 p.m.-1 a.m., and tickets are available now for $15 at eventbrite.com, Music Trader or Into the Music, or $20 at the door. More information, including the full music lineup, is available at manitobamusic.com and headinthesand.ca/spaceland
