STOMP on sale
Kaboom. Kapow. Whomp.
The international percussion sensation, STOMP, returns to the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium on Jan. 10 and 11, 2017.
In the past 20 years, they’ve grown from bang-up street performers in the United Kingdom to worldwide blockbusters performing in 50 countries before 24 million people.
Throughout its lifespan, the show has changed and developed new material. However, performing artists still whack everyday items such as paint cans, hub caps, Zippo lighters, garbage bins and radiator hose to create a one-of-a-kind soundscape.
It’s pretty safe to say supermarket carts, plumbing fixtures, kitchen sinks, rubber tubes, brooms and sticks will now take on new meanings.
Shows start at 7:30 p.m. Tickets range from $35 to $80. Call 1-855-985-5000 or at ticketmaster.ca
