An independent rock and roll band empowered by their innovative approach to the music business, Metric self-released their fourth album Fantasies on five continents without the benefit of a label.  They earned themselves multiple radio hits around the world, two Juno Awards, a Grammy nomination and went on to sell over a million singles and 500,000 albums worldwide. Their fifth full-length studio album, Synthetica (out now) has been described as “sonically futuristic yet organic” and represents the culmination of all the music the band has made in their ten years together.  Metric will perform at The Commons @ Butler’s Barracks National Historic Site in Niagara-On-The-Lake on Saturday, June 29th along with City and Colour, Jimmy Eat World, Serena Ryder and Yukon Blonde. 

Don’t miss your chance to own this very special signed guitar and see Metric live!  Bidding is only open for one week from Thursday, May 23rd to Thursday, May 30th at www.warchild.ca/auction. 

Please note tickets will be picked up at will-call with valid photo ID only.  VIP tickets include access to a VIP area with optimal main stage viewing, bleacher seating, VIP bar, shaded area, premium food vendors, VIP washrooms, and fast pass VIP entry.  Show is all ages.
