SamsungCanada, get ready to rock! Samsung Canada, the leading supplier of mobile phones in the Canadian marketplace, announced today that it will celebrate the upcoming launch of the Samsung Galaxy S 4 with regional launch parties on April 25, 2013. Redefining the smartphone experience, the Galaxy S 4 allows users to connect with friends and family from near and far in exciting ways. To celebrate this connected experience, Samsung Canada is previewing the device to Canadian consumers with an integrated tri-city exclusive launch experience.

Launching in true Canadian-style, Samsung Canada has invited amazing Canadian talent to perform live for Samsung fans at a private event in the following cities:

  • Dragonette in Montreal
  • STARS in Vancouver
  • Walk Off-The-Earth (WOTE) in Toronto

Canadian fans in all three events will also be treated to a special technological experience with acclaimed Canadian musician – Feist. Leslie Feist is best known for her 2004 Juno award winning album Let It Die, which parlayed in to worldwide success with 2007’s The Reminder, which earned her four Grammy nominations, six Juno wins, and the Shortlist Music Prize. Most recently Feist released a 12-song album “Metals”, which is known for songs that range from low rumbling and moody ambiences.
