Two iconic Canadian rock bands, Chilliwack and The Spoons, will perform at Aurora\u2019s Ribfest this September.<\/p>\n
Chilliwack released twelve albums over a 15 year period producing numerous Canadian and international hits. All this work led to 15 gold and platinum certificates, a host of awards, high profile TV appearances and coliseum concert tours. <\/p>\n
The Spoons are a Canadian new wave synthpop formed in 1979 in Burlington. They recoded several Canadian chart hits between 1982 and 1989, and in 1983 they won Group of the Year at the U-Know awards. Early in the band\u2019s career, they opened for The Police, Joan Jett and toured with Culture Club.<\/p>\n
Chilliwack will perform the evening of Friday, September 11, and The Spoons will perform the following evening at 9 p.m. After 8 p.m. on the Friday and Saturday Ribfest is only open to those 18 years of age and older who have purchased \u2013 and are wearing \u2013 a valid wristband. <\/p>\n
Wristbands cost $5 each and are sold at the Aurora Family Leisure Complex and the Stronach Aurora Recreation Complex, as well as on-site at Machell Park.<\/p>\n
