‘SUPER-SPIKE TURNING THE HEAT UP THIS JULY WITH DELANEY JANE, THE FUNK HUNTERS & KARDINAL OFFISHALL SET TO HEADLINE’

Winnipeg – Super-Spike, presented by Michelob Ultra, is turning up the heat once again this summer when the iconic summertime festival returns July 26th & 27th. Hip Hop, Dance and Funk music will be taking centre stage this year with Canadian stars Delany Jane, The Funk Hunters, and Kardinal Offishall headlining the main stage at the event. Super-Spike, which takes place at Maple Grove Rugby Park, combines Western Canada’s largest outdoor/beach volleyball tournament with a weekend long concert series, all set in a festival atmosphere. For the second year in a row, Ultimate Frisbee has been added as an additional sport that will run in conjunction with the volleyball tournament.

Public interested in registering a team for this year’s event can do so by visiting http://www.superspike.ca. Early bird registration fees for teams are only $49 per person through to June 1st. All Super-Spike tournament participants receive free access for the concert series and on-site festivities.

Early bird weekend passes for non-tournament participants will be on-sale this Friday, April 5th at 9:00 AM, and can be purchased for only $25 at http://www.superspike.ca. After June 1st they will go up to regular price of $35.

All three music headliners will be making their first ever appearance at Super-Spike. A four-time Juno & MMVA winner, Toronto’s ‘Kardinal Offishall’ will headline the main stage on Saturday July 27th, bringing his distinctive hip-hop style, spirited stage performances and captivating persona, that has helped make him a stand out on a world stage. Offishall boasts a surplus of chart-topping hits that are guaranteed to energize crowds, including “Numba One”, “Body Bounce,” “Turn it Up,” and the smash hit “Dangerous” that made him the first ever Canadian rapper to chart a song on Billboard’s Hot 100. Joining Offishall will be ‘Delaney Jane,’ a fellow Canadian international star who is currently one of the most recognized voices worldwide in Dance music with recent hits including “Easy Go,” “Bad Habits,” and “Throwback.”

Headlining the main stage on Friday July 26th will be B.C.’s ‘The Funk Hunters’ who borrow inspiration from classic funk and hip-hop, while putting the soul back into electronic dance music. The DJ duo’s show is a brilliant technical display of creative collaboration between four turntables that have made them regulars and audience favorites at global festivals including Coachella, Osheaga, Burning Man, and Shambhala.

Super-Spike, now in its eighteenth year, also acts as a significant local charitable fundraiser with over $1 million raised to date for annually selected charities of choice.
