The Argos home opener kicks off June 23, and to kick it off right we’ve got the Strumbellas and Kardinal Offishall performing a free concert at the SiriusXM Kickoff Show for anyone with a ticket to the game!

The SiriusXM Kickoff Show will be held in “The Shipyard,” the Argos’ new pre-game fan festival space located at the foot of Hotel X and in front of the Stanley Barracks at Exhibition Place. The outdoor festival area will serve BBQ food and drinks, including $4 beers, prior to every game at BMO Field this season. Spread across acres of licensed patio, The Shipyard will be a place for Argos fans to meet up before the game to eat, drink and socialize before heading into the stadium.

“We launched tailgating last week, and today, we are excited to introduce “The Shipyard,” an outdoor festival space for fans who commute or arrive by foot or bike and are looking for a pregame party,” – Sara Moore, Argos Senior Vice President, Business Operations.

Kardinal Offishall will be on stage at 4:30pm ET, while the Strumbellas take to the stage at 5:30pm ET.

The six-piece Canadian band won a Juno in 2014 for their album, We Still Move On Dance Floors. The band’s new album, Hope, earned a spot on the coveted 2016 Polaris Music Prize Long List that was announced this week.

Kardinal Offishall is a four-time Juno Award winner, taking home the honour for Single of the Year for “Dangerous” in 2009 and winning three times for R&B/Soul Recording of the Year (1999, 2000 and 2014).

Join us each and every game in the NEW Shipyard! We’ll save you a drink!
