Sorrento turns up the heat with its 100th anniversary celebration by booking a international music sensation to take the stage.
They came from humble beginnings but have since taken the world by storm. Now the musical sensation will return to British Columbia to help Sorrento celebrate their 100th anniversary with musical style.
Lillix fans will be pleased to learn that the B.C. band, who made it big after their hit single It’s About Time skyrocketed up the charts, will be coming back home to play in a free outdoor concert.
The pop/rock group, which was formed in 1997 in Cranbrook under the name Tigerlily, has since had a number of hits, some of which have appeared on a number of movie soundtracks, including Freaky Friday starring Lindsay Lohan, with their song What I Like About You.
The band has opened for music legends such as Aerosmith & KISS, toured internationally and has gathered diverse fan base of their own.
The band’s members may have changed, but their unique sound remains the driving force that keeps them in the charts song after song.
Lillix will follow a day’s worth of events and activities, such as the Show and Shine, and Family Fun Festival that have been planned to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Sorrento. The Juno-nominated band will take the stage at Sorrento-Blind Bay Park at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 8 and will entertain the crowd for free until 10.
