After a 30 minute break, Victoria’s Diamond Cafe took the stage. It took a little while for the audience to warm up to the idea to return to the dance floor area, but the band eventually won them over.
The Boom Booms were next with one of their final Vancouver Island dates on their farewell tour. It’s a shame the band is calling it quits. They’ve been such solid entertainers for years.
Victoria’s SIDEWAY opened the Lake Night Stage. With the stage being on the other side of Laketown Ranch and many festival goers still getting a sense of the lay of the land, the audience was small to start.
Metchosin’s Jesse Roper headlined to a packed Flats Stage performing for nearly two hours. Near the end of the set, Roper crowd surfed.
At the Lake Night Stage, Mt. Doyle and Stickybuds closed out the night with a dance party at the top of the hill.
Laketown Shakedown continues Saturday and Sunday with headliners Snoop Dogg, Incubus, Sublime with Rome, Smash Mouth and Black Pistol Fire to perform.
