‘Coldsnap Presents’ Concert Series Kicks off with Dan Mangan on September 12th!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -
Prince George, BC – April 7, 2026 – The Prince George Folkfest Society is excited to announce the first of three concerts as part of the ”Coldsnap Presents” series at Knox Performance Centre (1448 5 Ave). This series promises to deliver unforgettable evenings of music and will begin with 2x JUNO Award-winning musician and songwriter (and Coldsnap alum!) Dan Mangan!
This marks the first time Mangan has performed in Prince George since 2010! Much has changed in that time and this acclaimed artist will truly shine at Knox Performance Centre.
This performance is a part of the National Light Tour. The ninth studio album for Mangan, Natural Light was released in 2025 and marks a return to folk music’s classic underpinnings of political resistance.
“A return to writing “song songs” that might be played around a campfire. Mangan has experimented rigorously with his sound over the years, but resting in his roots may be where he operates most effortlessly.
Over two decades, Mangan has managed an enviably strong creative ethic, and his integrity as both a singer and songwriter has only strengthened with age. The big picture cohesiveness of Natural Light harkens to a pre-streaming, album-focused sensibility. Songs bleed together through focused transitions and overlapping interludes. Mangan’s lyrics act as gondolier for the journey, reassuring the listener that it’s cool to care. Dan sings for his kids, for his wife, and for A society in existential crisis.”
The September 12th performance will act as fitting a kick-off to our 2026/27 season, featuring three “Coldsnap Presents” concerts throughout the year (more information to come!) and Coldsnap 2027 - the 20th annual Prince George winter music festival!
Tickets for ‘Coldsnap Presents Dan Mangan’ go on sale Friday, April 10 for $50 (plus taxes and fees). Information about our other shows and series passes will be announced in the coming weeks. Please visit www.coldsnapfestival.com for further details.
