Dub Train Rolling back into Canada

In continuing to recognize and build the popularity of the dub-step movement in Canada, superstar artist Bassnectar has announced a series of Canadian stops on his fall/winter tour, announcing gigs in Vancouver on October 27 and what is sure to be an awesome show in Calgary on Halloween night, October 31. This is in addition to the second show of his tour, already scheduled for August 4 in Toronto.

One of the top dub-steppers and pioneers of the electronic dance music (EDM) genre, Bassnectar tours world wide and will be performing at such diverse events as Belgium's Pukkelpop Festival and the Leeds Festival in the UK, before returning to the US (and Canada) for a winter stadium tour.

The San Francisco-born electronic artist, whose real name is Loren Ashton, has played numerous shows in Canada over the past decade and is a regular at the Shambhala Music Festival - Nelson, BC's epic celebration of electronic music and artistry. It's coming up this year from August 8-13 and is a pretty insane adventure, if I do say so myself.
