Cabin Radio is hosting a weekend-long special broadcast on July 18-19, 2020 to mark what should have been Folk on the Rocks’ 40th anniversary.

Listen to the Cabin Radio live stream through our website or our app from 12pm till late on Saturday and Sunday. Scroll down for the full schedule of who’s playing and when!

The Yellowknife music festival had to cancel this year’s event due to the Covid-19 pandemic. A host of returning performers, from Tegan and Sara to Fred Penner, had been scheduled to appear.

Organizers hope at least some of those acts will instead make an appearance in 2021.
