Details will be added as they are confirmed but so far you can expect…
RARE PERFORMANCE FROM BLOODY BETTY!!
One of the most inventive and scary artists in the city. She’s rarely performing outside of music these days so were super lucky and excited to have her!REAL PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS!!

They were on the show many years ago where they told us that the Rio has active ghosts. To prove it, Paul and Ryan will sleepover at the theatre with the paranormal investigators and film the whole thing. We will present the video and have them on hand for follow up questions. Spooky!!!
ROCK’N FAMILY REUNION!!
Last year we forced a reunion show of this extraordinary band and now we are taking it one step further. Like many bands, they had lineup changes over the years. This show will feature every musician that was ever in the band, on stage playing together at once! 3 drummers (on 3 drum kits); 3 bassists, 2 singers (I stepped in on vocals for a couple shows – Paul) and Rick Rock’n on flying V guitar = The Rock’n Family Reunion! If you thought they were ridiculously fun before…you gotta see this!
NARDWUAR called them “INCREDIBLE!” The Georgia Straight dubbed them “good-natured, loud, unpretentious. Stupid fun!” All of their songs are about ROCK’N. They received a slew of awards (mostly from a radio station in Prince George) including “Best Canadian Artist 2005” “Best Canadian album 2005” “Second best album worldwide 2005” “Best Live show 2005” and then never played again until last year on Talent Time.
But wait… There’s more!
– Co-Host RYAN BEIL from The Sunday Service!
– Video by Silas Egan & Owen Wong!
– House band led by Kristy-Lee Audette!
– Plus comedy, contests, more acts TBA and probably an on-site haunted house or some sort of spooky added experience. Stay tuned!
