BP Before They Get Big Tour Ft. Alvaro

Alvaro plays the Boston Pizza Bayers Lake on Thursday 13 August, as part of the BP Before They Get Big Tour. The set takes place on the BP Live and Local stage, which is the spot they've set up for the summer's run of shows.

It's one stop in a 40-date coast-to-coast-to-coast tour that BP is running this summer, which they've titled the Before They Get Big Tour — or Tournée des étoiles montantes BP in French. The whole thing is built around putting Canada's next generation of music legends on stage and spotlighting rising artists before they explode. The idea is that you get to see someone early in their career and then have the bragging rights of having caught them before they blew up. Alvaro is the act taking the stage for the Halifax stop.

If you can't make this particular date, there's a bit more to the summer than just the tour stops: BP is hosting local bands at their locations all season long, so there are other chances to catch live music nearby if this one doesn't fit your schedule. But for this specific night, Alvaro is the name on the bill.

Tickets are free, though you do need to RSVP to get one. It's a simple enough setup: you sign up for your spot, and you're in. The show is on 13 August at the Boston Pizza Bayers Lake.
