Gigs: Wale, Collett, Zeus

* Rapper Wale will headline his first Edmonton show on Friday, Feb. 26 at Tonic, according to Pollstar.com. The D.C. native was one of Jay-Z’s openers last October at Rexall Place. Wale’s debut, Attention Deficit, was released in November.

Singer-songwritert Jason Collett and two of his label mates, Bahamas and Zeus, will perform Wednesday, March 31 at The Pawn Shop. The three acts, who are signed to Toronto’s Arts & Crafts, will play “together and alone during a night-long set of incredible music,” reads the label’s newsletter.

Collett, who sometimes performs with Broken Social Scene, is releasing his fifth album Rat A Tat Tat, on March 9. Zeus will be releasing their first, Say Us, on Feb. 23.

Ticket details to both shows have yet to be announced.
