Regina concert goers say Sweet Escape Fest marred by lack of security

Those who attended the anticipated Sweet Escape Fest in Regina over Labour Day weekend say the event spiralled into uncertainty on its final night – as security was severely limited and artists took to the stage to say they weren’t paid. The two-day event from Aug 30th to 31st was slated to feature 24 hip hop artists and DJs in Regina’s Victoria Park. Organized by Phoenix Entertainment in collaboration with Origami Barbershop, tickets for the all-ages event ran from $79 to $309.
