Epcot's Canada Pavilion will have a new musical act with TradNation's engagement coming to a close.

Alberta Bound will begin playing at the Mill Stage early in May 2016. The group had previously played at Epcot during downtimes of Off Kilter.

TradNation's limited engagement was part of Epcot's latest strategy of using short-term entertainment acts rather than the permanent acts of the past, such as Off Kilter.

....Well that was kinda short lived, no?

Do they normally turn over every few months?
Is that a Canadian Ultra-Nationalist Group?

Yes it was planned to be 6 months.
No offense but why don't they just bring back Off Kilter for pete's sake

I'm hoping to see them on tour later this summer! :D

What is wrong with new and different acts? People complain that things get "stale" at WDW and rotating the acts in World Showcase is something that should be done to prevent that.
The stage is always changing for new acts!
Bring it on! It has to be better than the "lumberjacks".:p

Provincial drag queen.
I don't have a problem with rotating through the different acts. It's really no different to me than only letting the foreign CMs work in the pavilion for a year, before they need to go home or transfer to a different location. Helps to minimize (in theory at least) the Americanization of the act. Although Canada (and to a point the UK) will be a bit tougher in my mind as it's not as obvious that the act comes from someplace other than the US, while say the acts that had recently been performing in Morocco were quite obvious they were at least rooted in Moroccan culture.
I didn't mind TradNation and was planning to catch them next time I was in town, but that didn't work out. I am very much looking forward to Alberta Bound though. If it is similar to the band years ago they were quite good. Marie
