Excitement builds to a fever pitch.

This Friday, at the Arctic Winter Games Arena, BSE makes their debut outside of Ontario in Iqaluit, Nunavut, with a second show the next night in the same venue. Iqaluit is located in the hills rising from Koojesse Inlet, an inlet of Frobisher Bay, on the south-east part of Baffin Island. It is well to the east of Nunavut's mainland, and northeast of Hudson Bay.

Iqaluit has a typically arctic climate, with very cold winters and short summers that are too cool to permit the growth of trees. Average monthly temperatures are below freezing for eight months of the year. Iqaluit's precipitation averages just over 400 millimetres annually, much wetter than many other localities in the Canadian Arctic islands, with the summer being the wettest season.

Temperatures in January normally don't get warmer than -22 degrees Celcius, and in recent weeks there have been temperatures of -59 with windchill. Needless to say this is a climate that few members of the roster have ever felt before. Not only is there the weather to contend with, but some may try to turn in early to bed as the sun sets around 2:30 in the afternoon after only rising just five hours prior.

This is truly an event to experience, from both sides of the show. The community is gearing up for two exciting shows from Blood Sweat and Ears, and BSE is excited to meet the fans in Iqaluit and give them top tier entertainment.

Tickets are on sale at the following locations around the city:
