Win 2 tickets to the Mad Decent Block Party in Calgary!

/

The Mad Decent Block Party (MDBP) returns to Calgary on Friday, September 4th at the Shaw Millennium Park with arguably one of the best lineups of the entire tour. Diversity is the name of the game and the Calgary stop have brought together a wide array of talent ranging from the more chill vibes of Klingande and Sam Feldt, to trap star RL Grime, and of course Major Lazer. Daktyl and Party Favor will be waving the Mad Decent flag high as they take the stage and will rep their label hard. One of the biggest additions to the MDBP has to be the Seattle duo Odesza as they have continued to put out amazing music and have graced many of the biggest stages in the world. At a recent festival in Montreal, Odesza was named as one of the top 5 sets and will almost assuredly give a memorable performance in Calgary. 

EDM Canada has teamed up with Union Electronic to give away 2 general admission tickets to this year's MDBP in Calgary. To enter, simply log in (counts as an entry), and the select the many other ways to enter! You must be 18+ to enter, and the contest will end on Monday, August 31st at 1:00 pm. Hurry and enter now!
