Canadian singer Bif Naked will headline Coquitlam’s Kaleidoscope Arts Festival this summer.
The free concert will be held on the plaza stage on Aug. 12 as part of the day-long festivities, which features other musical acts, food trucks, beer and an artisan fair.
Naked launched her career in the early 1990s and released her self-titled debut in 1996. She began to achieve mainstream success following her 1998 release, I Bificus, which went platinum and featured her most well-known songs, “Spaceman” and “Moment of Weakness.”
She has since put out three more studio albums, including Purge (2001), Superbeautifulmonster (2005) and The Promise (2009), and last year released a book, I Bificus. Her performance at Kaleidoscope will feature her on an acoustic guitar and some readings from her new book.
It’s the second straight year Kaleidoscope has featured a Canadian headliner; last summer, The Odds topped the festival bill.
• The festival runs from 2 to 10 p.m. at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park. For more information go to www.coquitlam.ca/kaleidoscope.
