Neville Staple the legendary co-vocalist formerly of the Specials, has been confirmed for the 8th annual Victoria Ska Festival. The 2007 incarnation of the festival will include Staple, the participants of the Canadian Fat Wreck Chords tour (Mad Caddies, the Sainte Catherines, the Real McKenzies), Mexico's Los Rastrillos, Ghana's Paapa Wastik and many, many more.

The event has grown over the past eight years from a one day seven act show to a four day multi venue festival with 21 acts from six different countries. "We are now the largest annual ska event in North America" says Dane Roberts, the festival founder and Creative Director "and interest keeps growing each year, from both musicians and fans alike."

More information including tickets can be found on the event's official website.
