- Debuting in 2013, the festival has grown into Victoria's premier summer music event, gaining prominence after Rifflandia announced its annual summer festival would not take place in 2026.
- Music BC Dylan Willows Stage provided a platform for 12 artists throughout the weekend, with four musicians showcasing talents about 200 metres from the main stage on Friday.
- Attendee Alex Brind said the performance "blew away any bit of expectations that I had," while Chantal Brown noted the trip from Kelowna was worth it as the festival became their weekend's centerpiece.
- The festival continues Saturday, July 11, with Father John Misty headlining before Modest Mouse closes out the three-day event on Sunday, July 12.
