The King Eddy has lived many lives over of its 120-year existence. When the reimagined King Eddy reopened in 2018, it did so with a mandate to continue supporting Calgary artists and offering a welcoming space for legendary live music or “all music for all people.” Now, the Eddy celebrates its 120^th anniversary alongside the 10^th birthday of NMC’s home, Studio Bell.

“The King Eddy has long been a place where great music and great company come together,” said Nick Gallagher, General Manager of the King Eddy. “As we celebrate 120 years of this legendary venue, we're excited to welcome Calgarians to experience everything that makes the Eddy special. From the incredible lineup of live music to our food and beverage offerings, Eddy Fest is our way of saying thank you to the community that has helped keep the Eddy spirit alive.”

Eddy Fest will showcase an eclectic mix of performances that represent the venue’s past and present. See performances from Brother Bicker Band, Ollee Owens, Duke Domino, Jessie Bird, Ross Fizzard, Ashley Ghostkeeper, Take the Sonset, and many more.
