Rifflandia isn't a trendy vodka brand or a newly created Scandinavian country.

Black Mountain, Final Fantasy, The Walkmen, Pride Tiger and Man Man are among those confirmed to play the Rifflandia Music Festival that will take place at several venues in Victoria, B.C. from Aug. 29 to 31.

More acts will be announced in the coming weeks, but festival wristbands go on sale on Friday through the MacPherson Theatre box office in person, over the phone or through its website. They'll cost $58 (plus taxes and service charge) and get you full access to all the venues hosting acts at the city-wide festival. More details are available at the festival's website.
