The
Hopewell Rock Experiment
has been postponed.
Hopewell Rock Experiment is
an independent music festival and label fair
which will showcase talent from all over Canada
and the US, and feature some of the North
America's biggest independent record labels.
"We're taking the best elements of the
Halifax Pop Explosion and other festivals that
have happened over the past few years in the
area, bringing together bands and labels from all
over Canada and the US, put it all in one
building, and open it to the public." says

Side Up Productions). Mr. Rowan (Program
Manager), CHSR-FM's Melissa
