Title: Kilmore Place selected to play at International Pop Overthrow (IPO) 2010 – Vancouver
Date: 2010-04-05
Description:

We are stoked to be invited to play at the Vancouver edition of IPO!

This festival is held at one of our favourite hometown venues: The Railway Club IPO Vancouver takes place August 24th-28th. Stay tuned for set time & date!

International Pop Overthrow (or IPO, as it has affectionately become known) is a pop music festival that has been held for the past nine years in Los Angeles, and more recently in Chicago, New York, Boston, Baltimore, Nashville, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver, Chapel Hill, Atlanta and Liverpool, England (at the world famous Cavern Club)! 2009 was the most successful year yet, and 2010 should be even better.

The first stop in 2010 was San Diego in February. Later in the year, shows will be held in Phoenix, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, Liverpool, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, New York, Boston, Toronto, Philadelphia, as well as other potential locations. Each International Pop Overthrow features between 25 and 180 of the best pop bands from around the world.

The purpose of International Pop Overthrow is two-fold: to give every worthy band who'd like to play their music in a festival atmosphere the chance to do so, and to bring pop music the attention it so richly deserves, with the hope that it gains the kind of exposure that brings it into the hearts and minds of the mainstream and, hopefully, today’s radio and video markets.
