Entertainment

Hedley @ 7:00pm

Hedley is one of the biggest and brightest bands in Canada. They recently released "Storm," the groups fourth album. It's a raw and riveting, emotionally-complex record, which finds the Vancouver pop act, which formed in 2004, more open and more driven than ever before.

Neon Trees @ 8:30pm

These acclaimed alt-rockers from Provo, Utah, have their formative roots in California and have played at some of the most acclaimed music happenings in America including Lollapalooza as well as on such shows as Jimmy Kimmel Live. Their second studio album, "Picture Show," was released late last year and garnered critical acclaim as well as a Billboard chart-topping hit.
