Festival Lineup
The Western Canadian Music Alliance is excited to announce our BreakOut West 2010 Festival Lineup!
The BreakOut West 2010 Festival is taking place October 21-23 in Kelowna BC at various downtown venues ranging from listening clubs to rock clubs. You can gain access to the festival by purchasing a Festival Wristband. Festival Wristbands can be purchased at any festival venue for $20 and will allow you access to all venues for all shows for the entire weekend! (if you want to go to just one venue its $10 at the door)
Full lineup, venue and set times
Submissions for the Western Canadian Music Awards, Western Canadian Music Industry Awards and Breakout West Festival closed as of April 30, 2010. Since then an extensive list of jurors has been compiled and the jury process is underway. Award nominees can be found here!
The Western Canadian Music Alliance would like to thank all the artists and industry professionals who submitted. We received an overwhelming amount of submissions this year which is a true testament to the thriving music industry in Western Canada. Good luck to everyone who has submitted.
i am surprised to not see laurell.ca in the line up? why?
I am so excited to see so many of these bands/performers showcase in Kelowna! Hopefully I can drop by some of the venues on my volutneer managment shifts and soak up some culture and good times.
Katrina, It was a hard decision picking who to invite to play the festival and who not. There are so many artist we love that we couldn’t invite. We had over 400 applications for the festival. Laurell is one of those artists, we love her. I hear she will be around for the weekend though so you never know what will happen!
It nice to see that there is no local representation of artists, local bands will not be heard from.
Not true at all! Kingdom Cloud, We Are the City, Treelines, and Ryan Donn are all immediately from Kelowna and some of them are playing two separate shows while Greg Sczebel is from Salmon Arm which is still the interior…
ok, so you got me foaming at the mouth to see 2 specific bands during the festival. now what i need is tickets to these shows, or info about getting in there to see them. do i get tickets from some seller or agent? do i get them from the venue itself by somehow getting in touch with them? is it a festival wristband type of deal, and if so can this method guarantee that i can get to the 2 shows specifically that i’d like to see? i know that the venues can be small, and i also know that tickets can be sold out before news to the general public is even 2 or 3 days old. i just wish i knew somebody in the know so shows wouldn’t be so hard to attend, and i’m a 25 year concert veteran (1985-2010) both very large (stadium) to very small (college bar).
Why is there not a gospel/inspirational/spiritual showcase? It seems that although they have categories in the awards there are no venues in the showcases for these artists. You could pack one of the big churches in kelowna with the right artists just like they did at Coastal Church during the Juno’s in Vancouver. Attendance and response was bigger for this type of showcase than for most other “mainstream” events.
With such a huge potential market I think this is a grave mistake.

Hi, I think I might be daft, but I’m wondering if the Streaming Cafe exists as an actual performance space that can accommodate an audience, or is it just a studio meant for broadcast?
I’m real late to this whole party, and want to see a few of the artist listed as performing at the streaming cafe. Do I have to stay home with my laptop?
No, you can come down and check out the show in person… or watch it live at home… or watch it in the future on replay on teh website.
